William Lashner’s standalone novels cover more ground than his Victor Carl series. Kockroach (2006) is a darkly comic noir about a cockroach that transforms into a man in 1950s New York. The Accounting (2013) and The Barkeep (2014) are thrillers, with The Barkeep becoming a major Kindle bestseller. Guaranteed Heroes (2015) moves into dystopian territory, and Freedom Road (2019) is a modern suspense novel.
These books showcase Lashner’s range beyond legal thrillers. Blood and Bone (2015) and A Filthy Business (2017) continue the crime fiction thread, while The Four-Night Run (2016) is a taut chase thriller.
