Product Description
Product Description
For the beautiful victims, it was the last dance. For a psychic detective, the waltz has just begun....
Lesson One: The Tarantella
She had been young, pretty, a budding ballerina. Now, beneath a streetlight in the cold Atlanta dawn, she's pirouetting at the end of a rope, a note pinned to her lapel: "Number One--The Tarantella." A dance of evil has commenced, a sinister medley of malice that will unfold over time as a ruthless killer leads Flap Tucker through the steps of a pattern only he can unravel.
Lesson Two: The Tango
The next dangling corpse sends Flap spinning blindly through Atlanta's underside, where two mobsters duel violently for love and money, a brilliant musician sidelines in secrets, and a monster circles close to Flap's cherished friend, Dalliance Oglethorpe. As he struggles to find his footing--blocked from his Zenlike ability to glimpse the truth behind reality's curtain--the murderous beat quickens around him, and a deadly dancer moves in perfect time to claim one last partner.

Three Dances -- Three Bodies
29 Jan 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Phillip DePoy's DANCING MADE EASY is delightful. Flap Tucker's psychic powers are short circuited and he's confused by the messages his brain is telling him to follow.
Four AM and Flap is rousted from bed by an aging drunk to view a body swinging from a lamp post by apron strings.
Clues abound, but they are dead ends. A neighbor of Dally Oglethorpe is the second victim to be discovered in the same bizarre fashion. Will there be a third as the killer promises?
You will be guessing along with Flap as you turn the pages of this well written novel that is full of twists and allusions.

Awesome & Strange in one:)

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book was so weird, but as one said very complex and had me on the edge of my seat:) I'm happy now that i've read all the books, i'm reading Dead Easy over again in some spots cause i had started with Easy & Dead Easy not knowing the other 3 were in the middle but did wonder about stuff in Dead Easy, some has been like "O i get it now" when something was referred to another book:) But this book was strangeeee & fun in one:) I wish we can have some more of Flap but me thinks Dead Easy is the last:) Atleast this book explained to me how Burnish, and Flap met & why the angst:) Even tho the ending was like it was for Dally/Flap Dead Easy explained ALOT about why nothing ever really happened with them:) Get the whole series if you want some good stuff to read:) *Thumbs WAY UP*:D
Zen Detective just gets better and better

This is the 4th in the Flap Tucker Zen detective series and it's a great one. I've really enjoyed these novels - the characters are unusual, likeable, they drink wine and make chahmin' double entendres while solving murders...kinda like a drawlin' Thin Man. I understand the 5th in the series comes out in late Fall. It is right up there with Lawrence Block as my next have-to purchase. These are a real find.
