    About this series

    Danger finds comedian Biff Kincaid once again in this novella set in the high-stakes world of late night talk shows. For years Biff’s friend Lonnie Udall has been the sidekick to Doug Easton, host of Last Laughs, television’s top-rated late night talk show. When Biff accepts a gig as Lonnie’s opening act at a Palm Springs casino, he thinks he’s in for a lucrative week of sold-out stand-up shows. The first night goes well, but the next morning Lonnie is nowhere to be found. Desperate to find his missing second banana before he has to tape the next episode of Last Laughs that night, Doug turns to Biff for help. With only a few hours until airtime, Biff has to find Lonnie and deliver him back to Hollywood. Biff knows there’s a secret reason Lonnie’s gone AWOL, and uncovering it could lead to curtains for Lonnie’s career—and Biff’s life! From the author of KILLER MATERIAL, HECKLER, and DUMMY.

      When Hollywood stand-up comedian Biff Kincaid learns the comedian he’s filling in for at the last minute at a comedy club was murdered, he uses his skills as an amateur detective to find out who the killer is. He uncovers a joke thief who recorded Biff’s act and sold it to wealthy wannabe who plans to use Biff’s material for his debut special. Another comedian would let it slide, but Biff has never backed away from a fight in all his years in the funny business, and he’s not going to start now. With a pair of fists as fast as his mouth, Biff sets out to uncover the murderer—before he’s the next victim.

      Hollywood stand-up comedian turned amateur sleuth Biff Kincaid is called at the last minute to headline a comedy club inside a sprawling resort on the Las Vegas Strip. He's thinking big laughs and good times are all that's in store when he boards the next plane to Sin CIty. He has no idea that the real gig won't be just headlining a showroom--it's solving a murder. It turns out he's filling in for his friend and fellow comic Tiger Moore. Tiger was stabbed by a mysterious killer who left a message written on the wall, one that sends chills down the spine of every comedian: GET OFF THE STAGE, it reads. YOU SUCK. The Heckler has claimed his first victim. Biff follows the trail of clues that lead to Louie Baxter, network television's newest sitcom star (and hardest living party boy). He tells Biff he thinks he knows who the Heckler is: a novice comedian beaten into a coma years ago by a hostile audience after a hell gig at a remote location. Louie had given the man up for dead, but if he's back it's to get revenge on the other comedians who stood by while he was tortured. Tiger was one of them. So was Louie. Now Louie fears for his life, and begs Biff to track down the Heckler and try to stop him. Biff follows the clues left by a mysterious mix of mob justice, a corrupt country sheriff, tabloid headlines, and the deadly family secret that guards the Heckler's true identity. Biff Kincaid was introduced in his debut adventure KILLER MATERIAL and follow-up novella DUMMY. HECKLER has already garnered literary acclaim: "A solid sequel to KILLER MATERIAL." --Library Journal "Fans of mysteries set in the entertainment industry won't want to miss Biff Kincaid." --Booklist "Barton skillfully blends crisp dialogue, deft punch lines and convincing action." --Cahners Business Journal Be sure to visit Dan Barton's official web site at DanBartonBooks.com.
