Novel continues to attract strong sales
My recently-published crime novel continues to sell well. Thank you to everyone who has bought and/or reviewed it. Your support is much appreciated.
The Name on the Bullet has been published by London-based The Book Folks and is the latest in the series featuring DCI John Blizzard.
In the book, my twenty third crime novel to be published, a high-profile detective on a reality television cop show is killed and Blizzard suspects that a notorious gangster ordered his murder. With the aging crime boss’s control over his northern empire on the wane, Blizzard sees an opportunity to finally put him behind bars. However, his determination is tempered by the concern that the hitman’s next bullet could have the inspector’s name on it.
The book can be purchased in ebook, paperback and hardback formats via Amazon at https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C1GNRDRS/
