Justic never sleeps.
Alexander L’Hiboux is a
man who lives on the streets, who never sleeps, who never stops hunting his
lawless prey… he is The Owl.
The most daring and
original hero in crime fiction… in a debut novel that’s a relentless,
pure-adrenaline rush.
It’s the mid-1980s.
Crime in Los Angeles is running rampant. When the law can’t help you, there is
one man who can: Alexander L’Hiboux, whose ability to sleep was destroyed in
the ghastly tragedy that cost him his family. Now he’s justice-for-hire, prowling
the streets and solving crimes with deadly finality. A desperate,
grief-stricken shipping magnate hires The Owl to find the scum who brutalized
his daughter…a quest that uncovers a shocking conspiracy that will rock the
city.
“Mike Hammer is a wimp
compared to The Owl,” – Bill Crider, author of Outrage at Blanco and the
bestselling Sheriff Dan Rhoades mysteries.

Alexander L’Hiboux is a
man who lives on the streets, who never sleeps, who never stops hunting his
lawless prey. He is…
THE OWL
Haunted. Lethal.
Unstoppable. Justice incarnate.
The most daring and
original hero in crime fiction in a scorching, action-packed adventure.
SCARLET SERENADE
It’s the mean-streets of
L.A. in the mid-1980s. When The Owl rescues a young punk-rock starlet from
being kidnapped, he considered it just a minor good deed with a few dead bodies
left scattered around. But he soon discovers that she’s the target of a gangland
conspiracy that has half of the city’s underworld after her. Now the only thing
between her and certain death is The Owl.
“Exhilarating! A pure
action high unlike anything I’ve ever read before. The Owl is a cross
between Batman and The Terminator…but he’s even more deadly and
relentless,” – Lee Goldberg, New York
Times bestselling author of The Chase.
“It
starts off over the top and builds from there. There’s action aplenty. The Owl
absorbs more punishment than any two or three or four people in other novels,” –
Bill Crider, author of Outrage at Blanco.
