Harmony Black: Black Tie Required is available now!
I'm pleased to announce that the sixth Harmony Black thriller, Black Tie Required, is now available in ebook and paperback. Susannah Jones will be recording the audiobook edition shortly (thank goodness for home studios) so that won't be far off. Here's the synopsis:
Las Vegas, Nevada. For some, a neon-drenched playground. For Harmony Black, a graveyard of bad memories. But when your job is protecting humanity from the horrors of the occult underworld, you go where the mission sends you.
The annual TechTopia conference draws Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, big thinkers, startup investors — and the Basilisk, a former German Military Intelligence officer turned freelance assassin. He’s in town to make a killing, and his target could be any of a thousand potential victims. To protect their source of information, direct action is off the table: Harmony and her team have to identify the target and stage a rescue without the Basilisk — or his mistress, the sadistic demoness Nadine — ever learning that they were involved.
Stranger things are brewing under the neon and glitz. The elite of the criminal underworld are flocking to the city like flies to a rotting corpse, rumors of a secret auction are swirling, and the assassin’s target has ties to Talon Worldwide — a corporation with a foothold on two parallel Earths. Soon enough, Harmony discovers there’s far more at stake than a single life. The consequences of this mission aren’t just global: they’re interdimensional.
Your virtual poolside drink is waiting. You can find the book at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086WFLGQH (at this moment, it looks like Amazon hasn't linked up the ebook and paperback versions yet, but you can find the latter by searching under my name.)
In other news, Thomas & Mercer Publishing is still set on releasing the second Charlie McCabe thriller, The Insider, on July 7. The ThrillerFest convention has unfortunately (but understandably) been canceled this year, so I won't be making an appearance to celebrate the launch; apparently they're working on some kind of online option so we'll see if I can come up with something fun regardless. I'm currently elbows-deep on the manuscript for the next Daniel Faust adventure and working hard to make sure it lives up to expectations.
I can also announce that the sequel to Ghosts of Gotham is done, and in my editor's hands. It's called A Time for Witches, and it will be out in October.
I hope you're staying safe out there! I'll be getting back to work now, aiming to keep you entertained.
