Chaos a la Mode
by: Teddy Hayes
The American President Russell Harmon’s approval ratings have hit historic lows, global media warn that Harmon may take a catastrophic step—one that could ignite an economic collapse, international conflict, or maybe even nuclear war.
Behind the scenes, the most powerful political and financial factions in America gather on Wall Street, desperate to prevent a disaster. But the real nightmare begins in the White House, when the Chief of Staff walks into the Oval Office and discovers something unthinkable—
The President of the United States has vanished.
No guards saw him leave.
No cameras recorded his exit.
No one knows how… or why.
With national security unravelling and the clock ticking, there is only one man who can navigate the shadow world of intelligence, covert ops, and international political conspiracy: Devil Barnett.

DEAD BY POPULAR DEMAND
by: Teddy Hayes
The second Devil Barnett Harlem noir (see BLOOD RED BLUES) is an excellent who-done-it starring a street trained, CIA polished hero who tries to do the right thing out of loyalty to a longtime friend. The story line is action-packed as Devil goes from one caper to another while escorting readers on a vivid but deadly tour of Harlem. As the investigation turns more complex, Devil turns more dangerous leading to a strong thriller filled with twists and red herrings. : Harriet Klausner

Wrong as Two Left Shoes
by: Teddy Hayes
His third blood-and-guts-and-rap-music outing (with accompanying Hayes-penned free music CD) roars along like a jazz jam on Viagra: the disappearance of a songwriter opens a veritable Pandora's box of shenanigans. It reads like a black Spillane, violent, breathless and never less than gripping. “The Guardian, Maxim Jakubowski” Book Soundtrack available on Spotify and all other digital platforms.

Blood Red Blues
by: Teddy Hayes
“After the murder of his father, Devil Barnett, a black-ops field agent for the CIA, returns home to Harlem to take over his father’s bar, the Be-Bop Tavern. Not long after, somebody slaughters a group of people in the back room of another tavern, the Tease Me Club. That room had been used as a brothel, and one of the victims was a Japanese diplomat. Uncle Beans, Devil’s uncle, an important Harlem politician and owner of the club, asks Barnett to look into the crime. This book takes place within a wonderful atmosphere, pulsing with Harlem nightlife and a soundtrack of jazz and blues. Devil Barnett is an engaging character. Hayes has entered Walter Mosley territory here,”
What Other Readers believe in

“A Cool Walk on the Wild Side…Smoking” The Book Show / DEAD BY POPULAR DEMAND

"I didn't believe in reincarnation until I read Teddy Hayes' BLOOD RED BLUES. The spirit of Chester Himes is alive and well, and Devil Barnett is Coffin and Digger rolled into one. A wonderful, wonderful book." --Melvin Van Peebles

“Devil Barnett is to the Detective genre what Clint Eastwood is to Western genre” The Nation (London)/ BLOOD RED BLUES

"Harlem, like America itself, is as much idea as reality. Teddy Hayes knows that, and he knows Harlem's rich history. Reading his book is like meeting old friends for a drink uptown - way uptown."
