The author of 38 baseball books and seven novels, including the internationally acclaimed The Systems of M.R. Shurnas, David Nemec adds to his reputation as a writer of erotic whodunits (Bright Lights Dark Rooms: Doubleday), (Mad Blood: The Dial Press) with a graphic tale set in today's Manhattan of a serial killer with a grotesquely comic flair that will both challenge and shock thinking readers. As in Stonesifer, Nemec's most famous serial killer novel, Who's Dicing the Daughters of Pan? is a total reexamination of the mystery and thriller genre. The book forces us to address uncomfortable questions. Who is its hero? Who is its real villain? Nemec's rapier wit, many unexpected plot twists and deep psychological understanding of what are truly the most heinous crimes of our world make us wonder whether we even dare enter into an intimate relationship in these times. His answer is yes, but not the yes that most of us may want to hear. Bright Lights, Dark Rooms "I loved it--I read it in one afternoon." -Ken Follett Mad Blood "Nemec, a former New York state parole officer, has woven plot, characters, action and wry humor into a first-rate whodunit." -Library Journal Stonesifer "Nemec demonstrates that the mystery's key elements--guilt, uncertainty and the need to eliminate the latter by establishing the former--are really the building blocks of our inner lives." -George Blecher, author of Other People Exist The Systems of M.R. Shurnas ..".an extraordinary exploration of human nature in our time..." --Carol Stack, author of Call to Home and All Our Kin
