In this latest comical novel from popular Australian writer Doug MacLeod, teenage protagonist Seth Parrot relates the hilarious trials of his family and his own bizarre attempts to court Miranda. Dealing with a melodramatic younger brother, a housing inspector bent on destroying the Parrot home, and a gardener who would prefer all flowers dead, Seth navigates his way into Miranda's heart.

"Wouldn't it be funny if they were real?" "Shiny red men?" "What if I were the sane one and everyone else was mad?" One night, the shiny guys visit 15-year-old Colin Lapsley. They don't speak, but Colin can read their thoughts. They want him to pay for the terrible thing that he has done. When the shiny guys won't go away, Colin is admitted to ward 44. There he discovers an alien world, a powerful weapon, a gentle giant, and a girl who may be able to see what he can see. The Shiny Guys is a dark, sometimes funny novel about how fantasy and reality can merge, especially when electricity is involved.

How does anyone make peace with the paths they choose at crucial "crossroads" in their lives? For Eddie Baker, a middle-aged black man, those decisions are literally life-or-death matters. As a teenager, he secretly witnesses the lynching of a civil rights worker in Mississippi in the early 1960s. He flees the dangers of the South to Chicago and is able to forge a career as a blues guitarist. But even over 30 years later, in 1992 Los Angeles, he is still haunted by the horrific act he was powerless to stop. When a former Klansman is at long last prosecuted for the crime, Eddie reluctantly travels back to his Mississippi hometown for the trial. After the murder of the DA's star witness, Eddie is pursued by someone who knows what he witnessed and wants him silenced forever.\nMurder at the Crossroads provides an insider's guide to the ups and downs of a struggling blues musician. Eddie is helped by real-life blues greats and characters, a sidekick who has the body of a skinhead but the soul of a black bluesman, and loyal friends. Standing in his way are vengeful white supremacists, the animosity of a wronged woman, and his own fears and weaknesses.\nEddie has a final shot at redemption. He must somehow find the path that leads to justice for a victim of past crimes while preventing another murder from happening, his own!
