Hobson's Choice

 Hi Guys,



Well yes, it's finally happened! I've put out another book - Hobson's Choice - which is my third detective novel, though not related to either The Keeper or Alone In The Dark. 

As well as a simple detective / police procedural work, it also delves into the spy genre as well. So as well as the basic whodunit plot lines, it also has the more paranoia / suspense plot lines of who's trying to kill me and who have I actually been working for for all these years? There's also a bit of old school spycraft that I remember seeing on shows like Mission Impossible as a kid. And for those who like it, I set the book in Bora Bora. (Yes, I admit it, I do like Death in Paradise - even if it's a different mythical island.)

Also don't ask me what happened to the dagger. I had an image of a dagger covered in black rose petals in my head and Deep Dream had a different one in its! But I still think it's a great image, even if it's not quite right.

Of course as usual, while I was finishing off Hobson's choice, I was also starting two more books, so my timetable for other books has been thrown off a little - but what else is new?

In the meantime, Here's the blurb for Hobson's Choice:

 

One Crime – Two Choices

James Hobson is a copper. A British detective, retired on medical grounds and living in the French Pacific. And life is good. Until a gang of armed robbers raid the Sandstone Resort and kill and injure dozens of his neighbours. After that he has only one choice – to be a copper again. He can't allow such horrible brutality go unanswered. Not on Bora Bora.

Sarah Goldman is a spy. A cleaner for the Agency. And she has covered up the gang's tracks. But after having been there during the raid and seen what they did – can she still be that woman? Will she ever forgive herself?! Then again, can she quit? Or will the Agency kill her first?!

Until she can make that choice however, she has one job to do. To stop Hobson from investigating the crime! If she fails – her tropical vacation will become her funeral!


And here, hopefully, if something is working, is the link:

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the book, and of course keep yourselves safe and don't get caught!

Cheers, Greg.
