My novella noise ordinance will be available for sale at the Austin Public Library Bookstore on Cesar Chavez for the rest of the year.
It’s loaded with body horror & petty, petty revenge.

Private detective Frank Harken could really, really use a cup of coffee.
Can you blame him?
His new case features a missing woman, a flaky client, a cranky security officer, a mysterious assassin, an overbearing mob boss, an ice-cold enforcer, and the best mini-golf the world has ever seen. Did we mention the fate of millions is at stake?

 

β€œStein delivers a madcap sci-fi take on the hard-boiled detective genre in this fun, near-future romp that’s chock-full of rapid-fire wit, tongue-in-cheek literary allusions, and playful futuristic absurdity… Stein keeps the stakes high and the laughs coming … Sure to appeal to fans of Douglas Adams, this zany, uproarious mystery is a constant delight.”
β€”Publishers Weekly (starred review)

β€œGet ready for some super great fun! The Great American Deception is a hilarious (and deeply disturbing) voyage through a futuristic netherworld of caffeinated robots and diet pizza. Somewhereβ€”possibly nowhereβ€”Douglas Adams is sighing pleasurably with a combination of approval and afterlife indigestion.”
β€”Gary Shteyngart, author of Little Failure and Lake Success

β€œThe Great American Deception is by far the most enjoyable novel told from the point of view of a futuristic coffee machine I have ever read!”
β€”Ben Schwartz, actor and writer

Have you ever read a sci-fi detective comedy narrated by a coffee machine robot? What about one that has 154 footnotes, a star from Publishers Weekly, and a "GET IT" verdict from Kirkus Reviews?

Caption reads "Only the dead know the secrets of the Cabal..." A Crime Writers of Canada 2021 Awards of Excellence Finalist badge has been added.

The first page of The Nightshade Cabal. Text Reads:

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, 1881

"I’m telling you, Jonathon, these so-called stage magicians are nothing more than charlatans and hucksters of the highest order.” Isaac Barrow said, raising his voice to be heard over the din of the crowded Theatre Royale. "The act is nothing but mirrors and wires and other trickery making you think you've seen something you haven’t.”

Inspector Jonathon Eddings chuckled heartily, shaking his head. "And I keep telling you, Barrow, being fooled is the whole point of the bloody show!” Fifteen years in Halifax had done little to blunt the edge of his thick Mancunian brogue.

His friend’s retort failed to quell Barrow's annoyance. The inspector's
invitation had had all the cordiality of a press gang. Eddings had bought the tickets to thank Barrow for his help with a recent investigation. He hadn’t skimped, either; they sat just three rows back of the orchestra pit. The notion of putting down hard-earned coin with the express intention of being hoodwinked by some sham of a magician struck Barrow as inordinately foolish. He knew of the occult and the dangers of flirting with its deadly secrets. Real magic being
his stock-in-trade, he considered the pretend variety, popular on stage, mildly offensive at best. It was only on his friend's repeated insistence that he had finally, against his own better judgement, agreed to attend the performance.
