Bad Blood
Harry needs a break. He needs a break from the women in his life, and he needs a break from killing.
That’s how he winds up on Victoria Island, off the coast of Senegal in western Africa. They’d told him the place was paradise on Earth.
It’s also how he winds up smiling at three beautiful sisters on the promenade at Victoria Port, by the yacht club. And it’s how he winds up seeing a guy in a leather jacket stroll up to them and shoot one of them dead.
The girl was Sophie Crespin, she was just nineteen, and Harry knelt by her side, holding her hand and looked into her eyes as she died.
On an island being slowly torn apart by growing ethnic and religious violence, Paradise is sliding into Hell, and Harry soon discovers that in Hell, the law is dictated by the Fils du Sang, the Sons of the Blood, and Ashaaq al-Dimaa, the Lovers of Blood.
The blood in Hell is bad blood, and the Fils du Sang and Ashaaq al-Dimaa will soon discover that when Harry exacts punishment, there’s going to be a lot of it.

Raised by well-meaning Marxist parents and educated at home, I spent more time memorizing the parts of a gun and studying martial arts than learning the Greek alphabet. By sixteen I was breaking in wild horses, and occasionally breaking a few bones of my own.
The years that followed involved travel, risk, and stories worth telling. Dyslexia made writing a challenge, which only made me more determined to master it. Reading was never the problem, writing was.
Stone, Dehan, Bauer, Walker, Rogue, and Mason were born from my lifelong love of noir. While I was supposed to be reading Marx, I was devouring Chandler, Hammett, and Spillane. Marlowe, Hammer, the Continental Op — they were my real teachers.
