Books with title Fortune Cookie Fortunes

It s the end of summer, and for incoming sixth grader Nathan, his life couldn t be more pathetic than it already is. For one thing, the name of his new teacher, Mrs. Swindle, sounds ominous enough; then there s the fact that he would be sitting close to the official school bully while his two closest friends are going to be in the other class. To top it all, he would be consigned to wearing those despicable clothes from the thrift store again. It is not like Nathan doesn t understand how most families in their community including his own are suffering from the economic downturn. It s just the harsh realities of his young life are getting into him and he couldn t do anything about it. Well, it appears to be so, until a strange man gives Nathan a box of fortune cookies one day. When Nathan discovers that the fortune cookies are way more than what they seem, he realizes, ironically, that the opposite side of the fence could also be a daunting proposition in life.

The murder of a Beverly Hills psychic - fifth victim of the Ice Pick Killer - drafts Detective Art Murry and his partner Billy Kidman into a special LAPD task force, where Murry's intuitive hunches are ignored in favor of fitting together the "facts" that, so far, have led nowhere. But when Murry's intuition turns to psychic flashes, he sees a vision of his girlfriend, Medical Examiner Mary Eclair. She's dead, ice picks through her hands and feet. To try and save the woman he loves, Murry alienates his boss and his partner, risking his job and his life to find the killer. Billy, irritated at Murry's lack of communication and spooked by Chinese fortune cookies of doom, threatens to transfer to a different department where he'll have the opportunity to head his own investigations. The Ice Pick Killer has his own troubles. A burglar cleaned out his safe: cash, jewelry, and the set of ice picks intended for his next victim. To protect his identity, he must get the picks back. Ice Pick, an actor and make-up artist, masquerades as anyone from a priest to a security specialist, whatever it takes to win his victims' trust. And he already has his next victim - Mary Eclair - in his sights. While Murry follows a slim thread from a reported burglary to a dead thief, Ice Pick sets the trap for Eclair. Will Murry be able to sort through the clues in time to prevent her death? The breakneck pace of Fortune Cookie Karma hurtles the reader from murder on the first page to an explosive, skin-prickling conclusion. L. F.
