Description

 							
  
  "The Kinkster
is back and in top supersleuth form." "In Armadillos & Old Lace, the hip, witty, cosmically cryptic poet returns to
once again ponder the imponderables and disentangle a mystery or two, and this time he's temporarily forsaking the mean
streets of Manhattan for his old Texas stomping grounds." "When Kinky Friedman decides it's time to take a break from
big-city murder and mayhem, he transports himself and his cat to Texas to get back to his roots, to commune with his
dad, to play with his pet armadillo, and to blow the city soot from his fevered brain." "Kinky arrives at his family's
combination ranch/summer camp for boys and girls to find urgent messages from Pat Knox, the local justice of the peace
(who got that job by beating Kinky in what clearly had to have been a rigged election). It seems Her Honor is a tad
concerned that little old ladies in the area are dropping dead at an alarming rate. Fearing something foul is afoot, she
persuades Kinky to undertake some sleuthing." "Undaunted by the thought of running up against the toughest lady sheriff
in Texas and only a little perturbed by a mass of swarming bees, the Kinkster takes off in his talking car to put the
pieces of the puzzle together. Several bunches of yellow roses and a faded photograph taken many years ago of ten pretty
girls dressed in white and ready for the cotillion are just the clues Kinky needs to finally unravel a devious scheme of
revenge for personal wrongs and social snobbery." "A colorful Texas story of the cosmic variety, Armadillos & Old
Lace is Kinky Friedman at his dead-level best, mixing his irresistible irreverence with a really great mystery."--BOOK

  It's a Christmas tale only
a man called Kinky could tell.
  
  King Jonjo Mayo the First is in a bind. Every Christmas, he commissions an
artist to paint a traditional nativity scene to be dramatically revealed after midnight mass. This year, though, the
date is mere weeks away, and he still has not yet found his painter. The king decides to take a chance on a peculiar,
mute boy whose artistic genius and clairvoyance are rumored throughout the kingdom. He sends three valiant, if
begrudging, knights to seek out the boy in the remote countryside. Finally, they find Benjamin -- and he is, indeed,
peculiar. Nobody knows if the child is up to the task, but the king's Christmas tradition -- and Benjamin himself --
might just be saved by a Christmas miracle that comes in the form of a very special pig -- who is rather peculiar
herself.
  
  
  
  Kinky Friedman, the original Texas Jewboy, takes us on a rollicking, rock-and-rolling tour of his favorite city:
Austin.Maybe you want to know which restaurant President Bush rates as his favorite Austin burger joint. Or maybe you
want a glimpse of Willie Nelson’s home life (hint: Willie plays a lot of golf). Perhaps you want to get the best
view of the Mexican free-tail bats as they make their nightly flights to and from the Congress Avenue Bridge. Or maybe
you’re itching to learn the history of a city that birthed Janis Joplin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and countless other
music legends. It’s all here in The Great Psychedelic Armadillo Picnic, the slightly insane, amazingly practical,
and totally kick-ass guide to the coolest city in Texas by none other than Kinky Friedman.This ain’t no ordinary
travel guide, neither. “Like most other busy cities these days, Austin is not very effectively traversed by
foot,” Kinky explains. “You must understand that ‘a walk in Austin’ is primarily a spiritual
sort of thing.” As might be expected from this politically incorrect
country-singer-turned-bestselling-mystery-author, the Kinkster’s tour includes a bunch of stuff you won’t
?nd in a Frommer’s guide, from descriptions of Austin’s notable trees and directions to skinny-dipping
sites to lists of haunted places and quizzes and puzzles. So put on your cowboy hat and your brontosaurus-foreskin boots
and head down south with the only book you need to get to the big heart of this great city.
  
  
  
  Friedman sends a slumping,
unfulfilled novelist off on a wild criminal adventure with a couple of con artists in his latest, an engaging but
erratic caper novel that begins when mid-career fiction writer Walter Snow meets the woman of his dreams, Clyde Potts,
at a bank in Manhattan. Potts already has a companion, an oddball named Fox Harris who accompanies Clyde on her various
criminal ventures, and the pair quickly take advantage of Snow's lust for Potts to convince him to play a role in a
smalltime con at a New York bar. Their next escapade takes them to a mental hospital, where they liberate an
African-American acquaintance who believes himself to be the king of an African country. The criminal stakes go up when
Potts manages to steal Donald Trump's credit card number, and the trio throws a lavish party for the homeless at a New
York shelter, but the plotting turns downright bizarre when Potts and Harris sabotage a major coffee cafe after the
company that owns the chain evicts the owner of a dive bar called the Unicorn. Friedman's usual off-kilter charm
prevails throughout, particularly in the characterization of Snow, a sincere but befuddled writer who uses his lust for
Potts to overcome a continuing case of writer's block. Potts and Harris have their endearing moments, but the criminal
subplots range from the solidly effective to the over-the-top wacky, particularly the coffee caper, which is designated
"Operation Diarrhea" and involves the trio adding a mix of diabolical chemicals to the local brew.
  
  
  
  Alfred Hitchcock's classic
film Rear Window gets an affectionate kick in the butt in this homage from master crime writer, philosopher, and
equal-opportunity offender Kinky Friedman.
  
  It's a case of malaria versus murder when private dick
extraordinaire Kinky Friedman comes down with a tropical disease, in the jungle known as New York City, and is confined
to his loft on Vandam Street in lower Manhattan, a prisoner in his own home with only his cat and black puppet head as
company (neither of whom are great conversationalists). 
  With little to do but stare out the window in between
bedridden bouts of fever and hallucinations, Kinky calls on assistance from the stalwart Village Irregulars, who proceed
to dish out their own uniquely skewed brand of tea and sympathy, turning the loft into a virtual Mardi Gras of confusion
and drunken debauchery. 
  Suffering almost as much from company overload as from his fever, Kinky welcomes a rare
moment of calm as he finds himself once again alone in his loft. Resuming his position at the kitchen window, he spots a
pretty young woman in an apartment across the street. What he hopes might be titillating turns terrifying, however, as a
man joins the woman and proceeds to attack her. Sure that he's witnessed a crime, Kinky calls in the cops, but, upon
investigating his claim, they can find neither a victim nor an apartment across the street. In addition, no one else saw
or heard anything that would ndicate a crime had taken place. Was it foul play or merely a fevered dream? 
 
Convinced that their friend is about to slip off into the land of eternal slumber, the Village Irregulars increase their
vigilance and in the process raise the Kinkster's irritability level to an all-time high. Not to be deterred, however,
Kinky sticks to his story and is rewarded when a few days later he sees the man in the apartment again, but this time
with a gun. 
  Outrageous, audacious, and ingeniously crafted, The Prisoner of Vandam Street is vintage Kinky:
irreverent, clever, and full of the hardened philosophy and mordant wit that has earned him a vast and devoted
readership. But what more would you expect from the writer The New York Times has called "The world's funniest,
bawdiest, and most politically incorrect country music singer turned mystery writer"?
  
  
  
  Kinky Friedman has always proven himself to be
a master of the offbeat and irreverent, and still manages to pull off a helluva whodunit in the process. Now the
Kinkster may have met his match in this superbly crafted, fiendishly clever tale of a murderer who's methodically
killing off unsuspecting Manhattan men. Gallingly, all clues point toward Kinky.
  
  Greenwich Village is the
setting for Ten Little New Yorkers, a tale of murder and mayhem as only Friedman can warble it and featuring his usual
suspects, including Ratso -- Dr. Watson to Kinky's singular Sherlock Holmes. As the clues and bodies pile up and the
cops strong-arm Kinky as their man, he has to jump through hoops to find the real killer, all the while maintaining his
outrage and, of course, his innocence. The murderer may be someone close to Kinky, which leads to a shocker of an ending
that will surely take Kinky devotees completely by surprise.
  
  
  
  A purloined feline from a Madison Square
Garden cat show is the tip-off to a trail of murders, South American drug lords and a gang war that only Kinky can
unravel. But there's more than one way to skin a cat, and Kinky may soon be wishing for nine lives.
  
  Out
of print for nearly a decade and never before available in electronic format, When The Cat's Away is the third of Kinky
Friedman's internationally acclaimed mystery novels, republished with a new introduction by the author.
  
 
"His irreverent, bawdy and often outrageous adventures are like no others." (San Diego Union-Tribune)
  
  "A
surefire cure for the blues." (New York Times)
  
  "Kinky Friedman is a hip hybrid of Groucho Marx and Sam
Spade." (Chicago Tribune)
  
  "How is this mystery writer different from all other mystery writers? We don't
read him to find out what happens next, we read him to find out how far he will far he will go." (The Washington
Post)
  
  "Dear Kinky, I have now read all of your books. More, please. I really need the laughs!" (former
President Bill Clinton)
  
  "A true Texas legend." (former President George Bush)
  
  "Genuinely
funny fiction is rare, but genuinely funny crime fiction is rarer still. All the more reason, therefore, to
celebrate..." (Sunday Times)
  
  From the Author's Introduction: "Mysteries with cats as central characters
have become so plentiful and predictable that I can't believe that I've written fourteen and a half of them. ... I would
also argue that the cat is not so much a character in my novels as it is a conscience. You remember those. A lot of
people used to have them in the Sixties. Back then, consciences were really in style. They were almost as popular as
cats. ... In When the Cat's Away, the search for Jane Meara's missing cat, Rocky, leads the Kinkster and his companion
Ratso on a voyage of self-discovery not to mention traveling down the tawdry trails of murder, drug rings, gang wars,
and the New York publishing business. In the real world Jane Meara was once a favorite editor of mine. Rocky was once a
favorite cat of Jane's. Rocky was bugled to Jesus about five years ago but she walks these pages undaunted and graceful
as ever. That's part of the reason I'm so pleased that Vandam Press has chosen this particular book to reprint as part
of its new Masters of Crime series. It proves that some cats, as well as some books, do have nine lives. It also
provides a chance, at least in the casino of fiction, for Jane to find Rocky again.. ..."
