detectives odd encounters add color and excitement to this

hard-boiled crime mysteries.

into film.

                  DEAD ON THE INTERNET: The MIT Murders is 
a case of murder and mystery at MIT. In this 
third Jack Kelly mystery thinking machines 
and cyberspace are investigated as students 
in an advanced robotics laboratory attempt 
to blend artificial intelligence and state of 
the art digital processing.  But one by one, 
the young MIT graduate students are brutally 
murdered.
The imagination of science fiction has 
become a reality as the Artificial Intelligence 
Lab develops a moving, intelligent machine 
with a wireless connection to the Internet.  
The robots think, adapt, research, network, 
and they learn!
There are moral and philosophical questions 
to be answered as personalities on a 
collision course clash violently in the story's 
cutting edge ending.
      
      SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD  is a classic Boston murder mystery that 
continues where DEAD MEN TALK leaves off.  It is the further adventures 
of Private Investigator and ex-cop Jack Kelly.
This time, Kelly is exposed to a more depraved side of the cutthroat 
business of the cheap detective.  It is a story of greed and lust, set 
against a backdrop of blues, jazz music, and the incredibly rich and dirt 
poor neighborhoods of Boston.  As is usual with Jack Kelly, the bodies 
start to pile up.  And as always, the salty and realistic dialogue pierce the 
mind and heart.  But this time, a young girl's life is held in a death trap.  
Her time is running out.
In this action packed thriller, Kelly and his usual cast of characters: his 
girlfriend Lieutenant Jessica Paris and his best friend Willie "The 
Musician" Crawford utilize some classic hard-nosed police work to 
uncover a sinister plot involving multiple murders and a fortune of 
oceanic proportions.  And there are sharks in the water.
This bold modern mystery is cutting edge, both fast and irreverently 
funny.  SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD reads like a fresh and brazen film noir 
and will translate well into film.
