Sobre IBD

From the Introduction by Ed Gorman:If there’s one thing Dick Lupoff understands (with perverse glee) it’s the sorry state of the human condition. In this collection you’ll find a wide variety of humans whose conditions leave much to be desired.A pit bull owner who’s just as nasty as his dogA thief who believes his father-in-law was a real NaziA dead-end boxer who has come back in a boxing movieA detective named Caligula Foxx who might be Nero Wolfe in dragA crooked corporal whose payoff is deathNot only are the storylines original, the writing is indelibly stamped with Dick’s vision and voice.Dick’s writing talents really can’t be defined by the usual means. Yes, he writes science fiction. Yes, he writes fantasy. Yes, he writes mystery. But what he really writes are Lupoffs. Long, short, hilarious, whimsical, dark, mysterious-they’re all Lupoffs.Richard A. Lupoff is the author of many books including the popular Lindsey-and-Plum mysteries. The next of these, The Emerald Cat Killer, will be published by St. Martin’s Press in October, 2010. His most recent collection of mysteries is Quintet: The Cases of Chase and Delacroix, published by Crippen & Landru.
