The Secret New Year's Resolutions of Detectives

I just posted the secret New Year's resolutions of the detectives featured in new novels by Charlie Huston, Paul Tremblay, John Meaney, and Jedediah Berry. A little teaser:Huston: Get the decomposed dead guy smell out of my favorite jeans.Tremblay: I will steal my mother’s clown pants. That is not code for anything with a deeper meaning. No one likes a clown.Meaney: I will not be disturbed by the strange ideas of other zombies.Berry: Leave a few typos uncorrected. A report with typos is a report with character, Detective Sivart always says.As for Finch, making his debut much later this year, here're his resolutions:- Stop getting hit by people so much.- Keep the fungus OUT.- Trust no one, not even the lizard.- Stop gun from leaking and bleating.- Avoid being liquidated by the rebels.- Take a vacation in the Southern Isles, maybe a nice beach somewhere, get a tan, forget there ever was such a thing as a gray cap.- Find some way to get an advance copy of the book and AVOID many of the troubles that will undoubtedly take place therein.
