Holiday greetings to all!
We are delighted this month to offer
our second Fight Card Sherlock Holmes novel, Blood to the Bone. Andrew Salmon,
author of last year’s award nominated Fight Card Sherlock Holmes tale, Work
Capitol, is again behind our shared Jack Tunney pseudonym.
FIGHT CARD SHERLOCK HOLMES: BLOOD TO
THE BONE
Deptford, England, 1888 … Richard
Stokes – one half of a tag-team carnival boxing duo – has vanished, leaving his
loving wife, pugilist Eby Stokes, homeless and penniless with only questions
and no answers. A mutual friend asks Holmes to look into the disappearance.
Watson believes the matter to be a common case of abandonment, and Holmes’
interest merely an excuse to try his hand in the boxing booths of a visiting
circus. However, when they are almost killed, Holmes and Watson’s only
remaining clue to Stokes disappearance harkens back to a boxing club disbanded
in shame more than sixty years earlier.
Why did Stokes abandon his wife? What
possible significance could the long extinct Pugilistic Club have in the
matter? Who is behind the fire that almost took the lives of Holmes and Watson?
Joining forces with Eby Stokes, Holmes and Watson are determined to find the
answers.
The kaleidoscope lights of the
carnival hide many secrets, including a threat to the foundation of the British
Empire. The game's afoot and, this time, it's a matter of life and death in and
out of the ring…
A copy of the cover and a complimentary
file to read on your Kindle or computer are attached. As always any mentions on
your blogs or social media are appreciated.
Next up for 2015 a new Fight Card
tale, Blood Feud, from Tim Tresslar followed by Job Girl, the sequel to Jason
Chirevas’ Monster Man, and much more…
Until then, Keep Punching …
Paul
