In no time at all, Web is chin deep in a bizarre mystery involving clean team turf wars, shady businessmen, backwoods almond smugglers, and a femme fatale in need of a favor. With his leeching wearing thin with the friends who support him, Web stumbles into a second career cleaning crime scenes with a misfit crew led by the tough and tender Po Sin. In the Edgar-nominated Mystic Arts, Huston tells the wild and strangely touching story of Webster Fillmore Goodhue, a thirtysomething former teacher turned shellshocked slacker after tragedy strikes his L.A. Teaming with True Blood creator Alan Ball, Huston has adapted his 2009 novel The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death into an HBO series pilot that’s poised to launch him into a new stratosphere of popularity. Believe it or not, however, it is yet another project in addition to these recent and upcoming works that’s making the biggest noise for Huston these days. That very same month Marvel whet fans’ appetites with a preview of Huston’s new comic Wolverine: The Best There Is which is slated for release this December. In August, Huston signed a three-book deal with Mulholland Books that kicks off with his forthcoming novel Skinner in early 2012. Clearly, the man’s been on a creative tear. Not one to rest, the versatile writer also spent early 2010 penning the Marvel comic book series Deathlok: The Demolisher, a slightly-satirical sci-fi adventure that was collected in hardcover this summer. that’s been devastated by a fatal insomnia epidemic. A mere three months later, Huston went on tour to support his newest stand-alone Sleepless, a noir-style thriller set in a near-future L.A. For starters, last October Huston published My Dead Body, the much-anticipated final book in his brilliant and brutal “Joe Pitt” mystery series about a hard-boiled vampire PI working in New York City. Over the past year, in fact, the genre-bending author has been riding the literary version of a Vegas hot streak warm enough to make even the coolest Blackjack dealer sweat.
