After several months of procrastination, I have finally released the latest story in the Cotton & Silk Thrillers: The Assassin’s Dog, an edge-of-the-seat thriller that along with all the usual suspect also features a new character: the delightful pug dog Goccia.
Although it continues where ‘Remorseless’ left off, The Assassin’s Dog can also read read as a stand-alone story since there is enough information in the text to bring a new reader up to speed with Jennifer, Henry, Derek et al.
So if you are new to the Cotton & Silk Thrillers, it’s not a problem to read this one first and then pick up the others.
Ebook and paperback versions are available now from Amazon. If you shy away from Amazon for whatever reason, the paperback should also be available by ordering through bookshops in many places. Paperback versions are also available at very competitive prices through the excellent hive.co.uk (with free UK delivery), and through wordery.com (with free worldwide delivery).
Here’s what The Assassin’s Dog is all about:
Cosimo Graziano Rosselli. Mafia assassin, a man who prides himself on his humanity — his victims feel nothing as they die; they simply cease to exist.
Goccia (pron: ’got:cha): Cosimo Graziano Rosselli’s beloved pug. Totally obedient and too cute to ignore, she accompanies the assassin everywhere on his contract killings.
When newly promoted Detective Sergeant Jennifer Cotton’s close friend Detective Superintendent Trisha McVie disappears in mysterious circumstances, a huge search throughout the UK’s East Midlands proves fruitless and frustrating.
Little does Jennifer realise that the person behind her friend’s disappearance is far closer to home than she imagines.
Little does she realise that an elderly man she sees sitting with his placid pug dog in a pub in central Nottingham is the enigmatic assassin Cosimo Graziano Rosselli.
Little does she realise that Cosimo Graziano Rosselli is planning how and when to kill her …
“It will be instant, amore. One moment she will be alive, the next her soul will be on its way to heaven while her body crumples to a lifeless shell.”
When you’ve finished it — which will be tomorrow since once you’ve started it you won’t be able to put it down — please remember to post a review on either Amazon or Goodreads, or both! Enjoy!
