Book 1

Zen and the Art of Murder

by Elizabeth M Cosin

Published 30 September 1998
Zen Moses is a survivor. From lost loves to lung cancer, she's weathered a lot, and she's only thirty-three. Now her cat is dead and the IRS wants a word with her. Nothing is easy for Zen -- not even getting a pint of beer at her favorite bar, Father's Office. It's there she trips over her long lost cousin, murdered and wrapped around a keg of beer.

Welcome to the world of Los Angeles P. I. Zen Moses, a world where gunplay and murder are as common as a stiff drink and a good cigar. Check it out and see why so many of the top mystery authors are falling for Zen.


Book 2

In the madness of L.A., Zen Moses is a risk-taking P.I. who has already fought for her life and her sanity - so what's wrong with doing a little favour for a friend? The friend is Jim Gray, a trusted attorney, who needs her to find a missing dog. But this simple case leads Zen to a dead man with no face, the trail of a vanished dealmaker, and the hospital room where Gray is fighting for his life. Suddenly the suspect in a murder - and an unwitting participant in a woman's violent unravelling - Zen finds herself in a tight spot. And it may be too late when she finally uncovers the truth: that in the city of angels, she has been hand-picked by some very powerful people - for a long hard fall down to hell...
