A Taste For Man

A series of Neo-Noir thrillers with antiheroes and femme fatales with muddled morals and unsettling appetites

Book I

Julian Hamilton can handle his newly enhanced strength, speed and senses. It’s his new appetites that are going to get him in serious trouble.

Guiding those two men deep into the Bangladeshi forest to observe a notorious man-eating tiger was a mistake. Julian should have followed his instincts and turned them away. The fallout: two dead and partially eaten strangers, two bullet holes in his chest and some extraordinary gifts from the tiger he’s forced to kill in an act of mercy.

With little more than the names of the dead men, Julian goes to Chicago to find out who wanted him dead and made him kill the tiger. Vengeance isn’t Julian’s only unfinished business. It’s been thirteen years since he’s been home. He has relationships to repair and needs to finally confront the trauma caused by his twin sister’s death. 

As he wrestles with the consequences of the tiger’s dangerous gifts, he discovers closure and revenge are hard to find, and the only person who can help him is the same person who wanted him dead.

A Taste For Man Book II

In book two of the A Taste For Man Series, Julian has his anger and appetite issues in check. At least partially. Now he has to contend with his past, including foes and friends. 

It’s been five years since Julian Hamilton helped international authorities put shadowy tiger poacher Voqie Mugu behind bars. After serving his full sentence, Voqie is released from a wretched prison in India and immediately uses his Chinese triad connections to seek revenge in Chicago. Julian teams up with Lourdes and a repentant Olivia to stop the powerful Voqie. However, Olivia’s brilliant but sinister alchemy makes Lourdes possibly more dangerous than Julian ever was.
