Some of you may remember helping my partner, crime writer Graeme Cumming, with the blurbs for the books in his Rand Scott series. He’s still immensely grateful.
I’m delighted to let you know that since you helped him, he’s won a prize in the The Noose Awards for Borderline, the first book in the series, the second book, Renegade, has been entered into next year’s awards and the third book, Suicide, is due out on Sunday November 22nd. The latest book and the first in the series are only 99p on kindle. Here’s the blurb for Suicide:
Living off the grid doesn’t mean they can’t find you
When a body turns up in a hotel room, the police think it’s suicide.
But it’s happened before – and last time Rand Scott was involved.
Drawn into the new investigation, he realises the truth is just as elusive.
Especially when you throw blackmail, drugs and prostitution into the mix.
And that’s before the body count starts to rise.
Here are a couple of reviews of the latest in the series:
A fiery thriller told with skill and breakneck energy. Once you pick it up, I defy you to put it down until you’ve read every page.
Tom Mead
Rand Scott has the charisma of Gene Hunt and the action skills of Jack Reacher, and with that, Cumming has created a perfectly imperfect protagonist. Scott is the quintessential lovable rogue who generally lands on the right side of morality, but he sometimes has a funny way of getting there. Just when you think he might have gone a little too far he flips the situation, making you realise you were foolish to doubt his ethics, all while delivering clever commentary on society and a wry chuckle or two along the way.
Suicide is a riddle, wrapped up in a mystery and tied up with a whole lot of trouble. With so many twists and turns along the way, Cumming keeps you guessing right to the very end.

If you haven’t read any of the other books (they’re a gripping read and of course I’m not biased), you can find out more about them here:
Each can be read as a standalone.
