Shoot the Lawyer Twice Poisoned Pen Press
" Milwaukee copyright attorney Rep Pennyworth's fourth case begins with piracy on Lake Michigan and rapidly gets crazier.... As usual in this waggish series, you'll need a scorecard to follow the cascading complications. But Bowen's powers of invention are so florid and his satirical touch so bright that most readers won't care who gets carted off to jail."
-Kirkus Reviews “Readers... will enjoy this romp through the halls of academe, where the battles are so bitter because the stakes are so small. Fast moving and funny.” -Booklist "Rep Pennyworth and his English professor wife, Melissa, latter-day incarnations of Nick and Nora Charles, deal with ... [a] cast of obsessive, eccentric characters inside and outside the academy .... Bowen's characters are amusing even when exasperating, and his leads are especially pleasant people to spend time with." -Publishers Weekly "This is the fourth book in Michael Bowen's series about this ... 'plucky couple.' In fact, they may be the pluckiest couple to come along since Hammett's Nick and Nora Charles.... And it is a fun ride, right from the start through to the complex and thoroughly convincing conclusion." -Deadly Pleasures |

Poisoned Pen Press
“First degree murder is punishable by death in Missouri, even if the victim is an editor of romance novels…Not only was the murder a tough break for the victim, but it interfered with the most interesting copyright issue Rep had seen in a long time.”
“Rep uncovers an
astounding plot that will certainly catch the reader by
surprise…fans of more literate mysteries have good reason to cheer.”

“A plot to rig the Oscar Awards? Is nothing sacred?...On the twentieth day of June in the thirty-first year of his life, Rep Pennyworth thought for a fleeting instant that he saw his mother walking up Commerce Street in downtown Indianapolis. This had happened previously, but not for several years and never before on a day when he’d done something illegal, unethical, and dumb.”
"Bowen writes with
knowledge and wit, tongue in cheek or rudely protruding. His
cat-and-mouse corporate thriller zips merrily to a high-speed
conclusion." "Bowen, admired as a
puzzle-spinner, is also one of crime fiction's wickedest satirists,
with showbiz mores, law firm politics, and online kinkiness among
his targets."
