Marty Singer #2 – Blueblood – released!

September 21, 2012 by Matthew Iden

I’m incredibly excited to announce that the second book in the Marty Singer crime fiction series, Blueblood, is available for all major e-readers and will be available in paperback within the week!

Synopsis

Four unrelated murders. Nothing special in Washington DC. Not even good enough to make the evening news. But then a concerned police lieutenant approaches retired homicide detective Marty Singer with a simple fact that changes everything.

They were all cops.

In a race to stop the killings, Marty tackles the case from the outside, chasing the killer from deadly Southeast DC to the heart of the Virginia gangland, on a mission to stop the spilling of yet more Blueblood.

Tempted? Read more at Goodreads (Chapter One), Amazon’s Look Inside (halfway through Chapter 3).

Buy
You can get Blueblood at all major digital retailers for just $3.99 right now:

Amazon
Kobo
Smashwords

Apple/iBooks, Barnes & Noble, and Sony will ship at the end of this week and should be available soon. Paperback copies are going through vetting at CreateSpace as you read this and should be available within just a few days.

Stay tuned for contests and giveaways!
