BugShot Incidentally, I read that "bug assassin" book from Poisoned Pen Press'
monthly 99 cent introductory sale offerings for May, and it is hilarious and highly recommended if you think you might like zany screwball nerdy comedy-of-errors escalating murder action thrillers.
M.G. Sanchez' blurbs suggests that s/he does some kind of litfic/academia and whoever they are, they offer a bunch of fiction and non-fic set around the Rock of Gibraltar, if you're interested:
