Delighted that my good friend Bud Craig has had his latest crime novel published by The Book Folks.

Making A Killing is a British murder mystery featuring Private Investigator Gus Keane, the fourth book in which he has featured. The ebook is available now, the paperback will come in a few days.

In the novel, a private detective’s investigation into an affair hots up when the suspect is murdered.

When a fight breaks out at a Boxing Day fancy dress party, attendee Gus Keane puts the fracas down to festive exuberance and too much booze, and thinks little more of the matter. However, when Jerry Duckworth, one of combatants, later gets in touch and asks Keane for his services as a private investigator, it is soon apparent there was more to it.
Duckworth suspects financial advisor Adam Jennings is having an affair with his wife. Keane is tasked with following him and finding evidence of his infidelity. But Jennings has a whole lot more to hide than an amorous liaison.

Unfortunately, the investigation into Jennings leads to complications. Not least when the latter is found murdered in his home. Gus Keane must get to the bottom of a case involving infidelity, shady business deals, and a man who is leading a double life.
MAKING A KILLING is the fourth novel by Bud Craig about social worker turned reluctant private detective Gus Keane.
The full list of books is as follows:
1.TACKLING DEATH
2.DEAD CERTAINTY
3.FALLING FOUL
4.MAKING A KILLING
These books are FREE with Kindle Unlimited. The first three books are available as a box set on Kindle and in paperback as SALFORD MURDER

Knowing when to cast all caution to the wind

Writing is an art form which combines two skills which appear, at first glance, to have nothing on common – unrestrained creativity and well-controlled discipline.However, good writing is not possible without either of them.
