Thievery, Espionage, and the SupernaturalA global adventure of thievery and espionage meets the supernatural in Pete Kennedy's latest, The Wolf of Amalfi. Artemis Fletcher and her intrepid sidekick Ayotunde Ibukun hold down day jobs as respectable college professors, but once out of the classroom they pursue their real vocation as international secret agents charged with an almost impossible task. From a haunted castle in Ireland to the deep forests of Nigeria, the sun-drenched lemon groves of Italy and the jazz clubs and dive bars of 1960s Greenwich Village, they track down and do battle with art thieves. Along the way they team up with shape-changers, engage in sword fights and motorcycle chases, ultimately pursuing a time-traveling pirate up the Hudson River in a breathless climax."Pete Kennedy is about to take us on a unique and wonderful journey! From a pub on Dublin's busy Grafton Street through the windswept ancient castles of an Ireland full of folklore and mystery..... get your pint poured and your Galois lit....you're in for a rich treat!" - Charlotte Moore, co-founder, Irish Repertory Theatre, New York"Pete Kennedy's The Wolf of Amalfi is a memorable mix of myth, mischief and history.

In The Wolf of Amalfi, our beloved protagonist Artemis Fletcher teams up with Yoruba scholar, Ayotunde Ibuken, as they travel the world to fight werewolves, mad Irish professors, reincarnated 18th century pirates, and thieves of sacred African statues. Like Floodwood, this is a fun and entertaining mix of who-done-it mystery, fascinating folklore, classic monster narratives, and action-adventure." - Gareth Branwyn writer and media critic, editor at Mondo 2000 and Boing Boing

Surviving Gangs, Radicals, Serial Killers, and KidnappersBased on the author's real-life experiences, including those as an undercover agent infiltrating radical groups intent on overthrowing the United States government, No Gun, No Badge vividly recounts the diverse and dangerous career of L.A.P.D.'s Matt Perez during some of the most brutal years of crime in Los Angeles.
