Subtle Felonies

Hannibal Jones Mystery Series

Book 8

by Austin S. Comacho

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE:   Mystery / Thriller

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BOOK BLURB:

Is retired basketball star Xander Brown missing, or kidnapped? His crazy family and dangerous friends draw DC detective Hannibal Jones into a deadly chase to find – or rescue – a complex man. In public, Xander is a husband, father, partner, friend, but who is he in private? Which role took him away? The search moves at breakneck speed across the posh suburbs and angry alleys of the nation’s capital, forcing Hannibal to confront tough truths and deadly risks. Will DC’s troubleshooter save a life or lose his own?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT TWO:

Hannibal pulled out his phone and did a quick search. Xander Brown’s family saw him as a celebrity, so Hannibal had not asked for a photo, like he would in any normal missing person’s case.

In seconds he had Brown on his screen. A handsome man with bright eyes and a sincere looking smile. He was popular with the fans, known for his flashy style of play. One reporter said he would pass up the three pointer for a shot at making the slam dunk. And he liked to party, able to go clubbing all night and still turn in a peak performance on the court the next day. At least that’s how he was described until he married and, four years later, retired. What must that feel like, to be retired with a family and a fortune at age 32? Some men in that position would be overwhelmed by arrogance and ego. But every reference Hannibal found described Brown as well liked, respected, and generous to charities. Overall, a good man worth finding.

GUEST POST:

Five Reasons You Should Read My Book

The first reason you should read Subtle Felonies is to meet a true hero. Hannibal Jones is a private eye in the classic hardboiled mold. He has a clearly defined morality all his own, he’s tough when he needs to be, but tender when that’s called for. He also has a smart mouth and is clever enough to solve a twisty mystery. He may seem familiar to fans of Lew Archer, Travis McGee and Phillip Marlowe but being a man of mixed race raised in Germany gives him a unique perspective when dealing with the book’s diverse cast. This is a man you will be happy to get to know.

Reason number two would be the settings. I do a lot of driving around in the process of writing my novels. I need to get the feel for every corner of the DMV (District of Columbia/ Maryland / Virginia) to give you the sights, the tastes, the smells, the sounds, the FEEL of our area. You will be pulled in and immersed in the world my characters live in.

The pace of my story is another good reason to read this one. Once Hannibal sinks his teeth into the mystery, events move at a breakneck pace. The feeling of urgency to find the missing man never slackens. Almost every chapter ends with a cliffhanger. My objective is to leave no place in the whole book where it will be easy to put it down for the night.

The biggest reason to read Subtle Felonies is the mystery itself. I’ve constructed a plot that twists like a corkscrew with clues scattered about the landscape. There ARE enough clues in plain sight for you to solve this mystery and figure out who the ultimate villain is… but you won’t. and in the meantime, a series of bad men and women appear with their own schemes that only confuse the sleuth trying to sort out the big villain’s plot.

That is the biggest reason, but I can give you one more good motive for reading Subtle Felonies. It is only the latest in a series of complex mysteries Hannibal Jones has faced. Each of his previous seven adventures is populated by its own cast of fascinating characters, explores parts of the Washington area, moves at its own frenetic pace, and offers opportunities to get to know this knight errant in dark glasses, DC’s professional troubleshooter, Hannibal Jones. So when you finish Subtle Felonies you’ll know there’s more great reading ahead.
