Jurassic Parts, the fourth book in the Charlemagne Caine mystery series, takes Otter the intrepid slacker detective, and his fiancée Fallon on a schlocky, pre-wedding tour across Canada.

The Octopus. The pandemonium is set at a Spanish fortress converted into a high-end resort on the Pacific Coast of Baja California Sur.
