'Slaughterhouse Blues' is up for pre-order!
Noir lovers: Blatant self-promotion time! (It'll be worth it, I swear.) My new book, "Slaughterhouse Blues," is available for pre-order in paperback and e-versions (#kindle, etc.) from Shotgun Honey and Down & Out Books; it's the sequel to "A Brutal Bunch of Heartbroken Saps," and filled with hardboiled goodness. Here's the description:
"'Slaughterhouse Blues' catches up with Bill and Fiona, the chattery and gun-happy anti-heroes of 'A Brutal Bunch of Heartbroken Saps,' soon after they’ve escaped the Rockaway Mob, the criminal enterprise from which Bill 'borrowed' several million dollars.
"Holed up in Havana, Bill and Fiona know the Mob is coming for them—it’s just a question of time. But they’re not prepared for who the Mob sends: a pair of assassins so utterly amoral and demented, their behavior pushes the boundaries of sanity. Seriously, what kind of killers pause in mid-hunt to discuss the finer points of thread count and luxury automobiles?
"Forced on the run (again), Bill and Fiona will venture from the crumbling streets of Cuba to the steaming jungles of Nicaragua, and finally back to the mean streets of New York City. If they want to survive, our fine young criminals can’t retreat anymore: they’ll need to pull off a massive (and massively weird) heist—and the loot has some very dark history…"
Just in case you haven't started the series, here's some praise for A BRUTAL BUNCH OF HEARTBROKEN SAPS:
“Dark, bleak and in-your-face, take-no-prisoners prose, everything you want in crime fiction.” —Frank Bill, author of 'Donnybrook' and 'Crimes in Southern Indiana'
“Ruthless, off-the-wall and surprisingly heartfelt, A Brutal Bunch of Heartbroken Saps is much more than a heist book, and showcases the skills of an emerging writer in Nick Kolakowski. Featuring memorable characters, a down-on-his-luck protagonist and a story that’s equal parts insane and sincere, Saps is the kind of book you read fast and revisit immediately to savor the experience again.” —Alex Segura, acclaimed author of 'Dangerous Ends' and 'Down the Darkest Street.'
Whew! Here's the link to the Down & Out bookstore, which features all kinds of special discounts, and here's the link to Amazon (if Amazon's your thing).
