Triple Forte: The First Three Nick Forte Novels
(2023)(A book in the Nick Forte Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Dana King
The first three books of the Shamus-nominated Nick Forte series are gathered together here for the first time.
Follow Nick, his friends Goose, Sonny, Jan, Sharon, and especially daughter Caroline through their first three adventures:
A SMALL SACRIFICE (Shamus nominee: This is the best mystery I have read in the last couple of years… I went out of my way to order my day so I could finish the book quickly.
THE STUFF THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF: It's a kind of authorial magic that The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of works as a tribute and as a story, and that neither aspect interferes in the least with the other… I can imagine this book finding its way into a class on writing crime fiction as an example of how to pay tribute to one's predecessors while at the same time writing a story that can stand on its own. It's an impressive accomplishment.--- Peter Rozovsky, Detectives Beyond Borders, December 18, 2014
THE MAN IN THE WINDOW (Shamus nominee): Dana King's private eye uses a steady string of wise-ass remarks and clever asides to keep you laughing and caring, reminding me every chapter of the greatest P.I. writer of all time, Raymond Chandler.
Genre: Mystery
