In honor of the start of summer yesterday, my Kindle novel Bloodbath will be available free today, Sunday, 22 June.
Bloodbath is a neo-noir pulp thriller — short, violent and dirty. At the center of it is Tim Holt, a battle-scarred vet, now a soldier of fortune working the darker byways of Latin America in 1954. When a job in Guatemala goes way wrong he’s thrown together with a beautiful young woman who, like him, is bent on revenge — but the cost of it is going to be higher than either of them could possibly imagine.
The book has no redeeming moral or social message whatsoever. It’s sole ambition is to resemble the sort of lurid paperback thriller you might pick up at a drugstore or train station in the 1950s, read quickly and think, “Well, that was fun.”

If you don’t own a Kindle, you can read it on almost any computer or portable device with one of the free Kindle reading apps available here:

Thank you, Adrienne!
Your hero (anti-hero?) is named TIM HOLT? Deliberate reference?
Yes — an homage. I love Tim Holt.
