Adam Slade: 2 books

Frank Peterson, city-block renowned phony private eye, is pulled into track down a serial killer who decapitates her victims after sex. He can't decide which is more disturbing; the crime scene photos, or the local cafe's attempt at a BLT. (Short story number one in the Gumshoe Casefiles series)

Half-assed PI, Frank Peterson, is on the case of a missing pair of statuettes, stolen from a corrupt politician (who knew such a thing existed?). He doesn't like art, especially when it's made of ivory, but he's all for pay-checks. Ideally big ones, with zeros on the end. Crap cars don't pay for themselves. (Short story number two in the Gumshoe Casefiles series.)
