Void

As memories emerge fuelled by music and dreams, so too comes a sense of dread that there may be things he does not want to remember. Is his mind protecting him from something?
Who is he?
What has he done?

The Lover's Portrait: An Art Mystery
100 copies.
When a homosexual Dutch art dealer hides the stock from his gallery – rather than turn it over to his Nazi blackmailer – he pays with his life, leaving a treasure trove of modern masterpieces buried somewhere in Amsterdam, presumably lost forever. That is, until American art history student Zelda Richardson sticks her nose in.
After studying for a year in the Netherlands, Zelda scores an internship at the prestigious Amsterdam Historical Museum, where she works on an exhibition of paintings and sculptures once stolen by the Nazis, lying unclaimed in Dutch museum depots almost seventy years later. When two women claim the same painting, the portrait of a young girl entitled Irises, Zelda is tasked with investigating the painting’s history and soon finds evidence that one of the two women must be lying about her past. Before she can figure out which one it is and why, Zelda learns about the Dutch art dealer’s concealed collection. And that Irises is the key to finding it all.
Her discoveries make her a target of someone willing to steal – and even kill – to find the missing paintings. As the list of suspects grows, Zelda realizes she has to track down the lost collection and unmask a killer if she wants to survive.

Blood Read: Publish And Be Dead
Unlimited ebook copies to group members (7 day period) - I'll make a download link available if selected.
A Serial Killer Stalks The London Book World
When investigative journalist Tom Capgras finds his literary agent hanging from an oak beam in her West End office, an immaculately tied noose around her neck, his dreams of a non-fiction book deal appear dead in the water.
Joanne Leatherby’s death looks like suicide but Capgras suspects murder. Nonsense, say police, who dismiss him as a conspiracy crackpot.
Capgras uncovers links to a string of untimely deaths - editors, publishers, reviewers, even book bloggers, killed for an unkind word.
All the evidence points to one man - a mid-list author of detective tales with a career on the skids. Cast adrift by agents and publishers alike, his dreams thwarted, Arthur Middleton has gone to the dark side and embraced self-publishing. He may be crazed with ambition, but how mad would a man have to be to kill for publicity, for book sales? Mad enough to admit everything on the pages of his latest blockbuster?
As the body count mounts, and the police refuse to take him seriously, Capgras must act alone, defy his critics and get to the truth fast – before the killer gets to him.
A crime thriller with a twist of satire - in the vein of Le Carré and Leonard, with a nod to Vonnegut, Jasper Fforde and Tom Robbins. The first book in the genre crossover series The Capgras Conspiracy.
The first three chapters are available here: https://simontownley.com/samples/bloo...

The Bad Canadian
Literary/historical murder mystery
100 copies, 5 days time window.
BLURB:
IN A PLACE OF PEACE,
DURING A TIME OF WAR,
THE UNFORGIVEN WILL NOT GO FORGOTTEN.
Edenville, 1940.
In a rural hamlet where the majority of men are overseas to fight Hitler's Nazi war machine, someone is killing veterans of the first world war.
Wartime Special Constable 'Lame' Eddie Sommers, a crippled rich boy and the butt of derision, is doing his best to fill a uniform he believes in, yet wears too large. Inexperienced and out of his depth, he turns to a former detective and veteran of the western front for assistance.
Involving Marshall Geary might be his biggest mistake.
Marshall wears a copper mask, as much to hide behind as to conceal his disfigurements. He struggles against howling flashbacks and the lingering stench of his own concealed crimes.
In a town meant for sanctuary, repressed horrors awaken like worms in a collapsing coffin. The closer they get to the truth, the nearer everyone is dragged to their limits, their failings and their buried pasts.

3. Blurb:
He comes and goes as he pleases: even when the police know the target, the date and the time of his next murder, he still kills his victim and escapes without being apprehended. Who can stop a killer like this? Three people are murdered on separate Tuesday evenings at precisely 11.05. Random clues point to random suspects, but too many questions remain unanswered. Why 11.05pm for each killing? Is there any connection between these deaths and a rape that occurred at Queen’s university twelve years before? What is the connection between the killings and Sergeant Stewart’s mystery informant? Who is the violent stalker who twice nearly kills Detective Allen? What is his connection, if any, to the murders? When one of his team is kidnapped, Inspector Sheehan has literally only minutes to make sense of these questions if he is to save his colleague’s life.
The first thing I thought after reading this book is: why isn't Brian O'Hare better known in the crime writing world? This man is extremely talented, and his book a wonderful ‘whodunnit’ that left me guessing until the end. [Joseph Sousa, Crime-writer]

The Car Bomb
300 copies available 3/18/17 through 3/25/17
Detroit’s top TV newsman Frank DeFauw hunts down the story of a judge who may be corrupt—and is one of his best friends. Booze, drugs, womanizing and a passion for the news are all part of what makes brilliant, erratic Frank a major player in this deeply troubled city.
Plagued by his own dark pleasures and followed by a deadly assassin, Frank is finally forced to decide if digging out the truth about a bribe to his pal the judge is worth risking his career, his family and his life.
With supple prose, brilliant dialogue, complex characters and a twisting plot, this opening salvo of The detroit im dyin Trilogy is a fast-paced urban crime thriller, a classic noir story of corruption, betrayal and murder.
“A compelling and wonderfully written piece of urban crime fiction…LoCicero has produced a gripping tale of corruption and redemption in Detroit.”--Victoria Best, Tales from the Reading Room
“a brilliantly composed and complex thriller… fast moving and gripping”--Christoph Fischer, author of The Luck of the Weissensteiners
“TV anchor Frank DeFauw is a wonderful mixture of cynicism, vanity, self-doubt, weariness and wit. A kind of local princeling, his boozy, womanizing path illuminates everyone he encounters in this tight and vibrant thriller, as well as the dark city in which it is set.”--Patrick, Amazon Reviewer

Two free print editions available - E-books free with Kindle Prime
on Amazon.com
Initiate medicine woman Crystal Blackrock is trying to find harmony between her Creek Indian culture and modern society in the Panhandle of Florida. Her life, working in a rural family healthcare clinic, is rewarding but incomplete. When a routine day trip with her grandfather along the forested Apalachicola River goes terribly wrong, death stares them in the face. They find themselves fleeing for their lives from human traffickers intent on their elimination.
A chance encounter brings the handsome Doctor Grant Sands to their aid. An amateur artifact hunter, critical-care physician, and tested Afghan war veteran who harbors grim secrets from his time on the front line. Will he be a help or a hindrance?
Gunfire interrupts their race through the forest leaving her grandfather wounded and Crystal teamed with the taut muscular veteran in search of help. Despite an air of competence and chivalry presented by the rugged doctor, Crystal suspects a man deeply troubled and unwilling to face his personal demons. Yet . . . she finds herself mysteriously drawn to the stoic blue-eyed protector. Death and gun battles force Crystal into Grant’s protective embrace. aises her to a level of exhilarating kinship with nature she never knew existed.
Struggling, Grant finds himself unwittingly engulfed in a crime spree that he is ill prepared to contend with. Nursing emotional wounds from a humanitarian effort in remote Afghanistan that ended catastrophically, he is barely managing day to day to rebuild his life. He cannot be drawn once again into combat where innocent women and children might be sacrificed.
The animalistic arousal he feels for the spunky Crystal is unexpected and alarming, worse so, because of his history of failed relationships. Failures largely caused by his inability to balance his professional and personal life. He had no immediate plans of delving into this thorny problem – until Crystal showed up on a remote forest trail, smudged but alluring, guarded but intriguing.
Raised by her grandparents after her mother’s tragic death, Crystal labors with the expectations of her Creek healing ancestry and her natural yearnings for companionship. She is drawn to the mainstream medical doctor in dark, dangerous and desirous ways she cannot understand.
Human traffickers pursue them with reckless abandon, intent on eliminating any trail to their criminal operation. Crystal and Grant fight the deadly smugglers while each struggle individually to find true meaning in their lives. Little do they know, the solution to both quandaries lies in their relationship with each other. A bond forged by ancient ancestors is soon to be realized in the sinister maelstrom of the present day.
Unexpectedly they receive valuable help from a most unlikely source, a reluctant Pakistani terrorist. Clandestine Dr. Abdul Patel seeks out Grant to warn him of dangers from the foreign traffickers. The criminals are hell-bent on sealing the leak in their organization, which means killing any witnesses. The FBI agents assigned to the case are skeptical. Grant sees it differently. He’s personally seen radical Afghanistan from the other side, where good men are sometimes forced to do the unthinkable. But, what is Dr. Patel’s mission in the United States?
The resolution of these battles and conflicts requires Crystal to kill in self-defense, compromise her beliefs and ultimately give herself completely to the spirits of her ancestors. For only in this way can she find true love and meet her responsibilities to her forefathers and the Creek Nation.

Gwydion's Dawn - Wry Occult Mystery
Unlimited download copies for two days from Amazon Kindle - Thursday 23rd - Friday 24th March - and then again for three consecutive days commencing Friday 31st March.
Just who, or what, is Gwydion Turner? The people of Glastonbury know only so much, although to them he is but one of any number of eccentric curiosities who grace the streets of their town. For the best part of the last decade, he has devoted himself to the 'Great Work’, which he now believes himself to be upon the brink of realising; an esoteric activity that many, if not most, would regard as both incredible, and insane.
One night in September 1985, his partial disclosure of the nature of his occult activities reveals him to be far from the harmless buffoon that people had supposed. There is, it seems, a whiff of death about the man.
A wry-humoured novella set amidst the world of Glastonbury’s occult counterculture.

Assassins intent on derailing Middle East peace talks.
Customs Investigator James Winter must overcome them all if he is to save his career—and his life.
Winter, an ex-MI5 operative, battles to clear his name after being wrongly accused of colluding with diamond smugglers.

But as his wife undergoes cancer treatment, he finds it hard to balance time at her bedside with action to vindicate himself.

He touched the locket that hung around his neck. “Mum and Dad, you’d be proud of me.”

Who Knew Tasmanian Tigers Eat Apples!
My humorous mystery Who Knew Tasmanian Tigers Eat Apples! is the first novel in my Windy Mountain series. It's only 62,000 words, so it's a quick read.
I can offer 300 copies in .mobi or ePub over a five-day period.
A Texan billionaire hires reclusive Moose Routley to find him a Tasmanian tiger, despite the carnivorous marsupial having been listed as extinct. It puts him on a collision course with the pompous mayor of Windy Mountain who thinks he can rip out his historic orchard, which might (or might not) be the place where the thylacine lives on. Full of quirky characters, the novel has quite an Australian flavour.
If you want to read more, it's listed here on Goodreads.
But here's a link which will take you to the platform of your choice (Amazon, Apple iBooks, Kobo, Barnes and Noble etc) so you can read the Look Inside:

The Lock
Genre: Cosy traditional British murder mystery
Target audience: If you are a fan of Agatha Christie and traditional detective stories, I hope you will like my book. It probably isn't a good choice for those who prefer "hard boiled" contemporary thrillers with a lot of police procedure and forensics.
Synopsis:
"You have to help me. She's going to kill my father."
Perry reluctantly gets embroiled in a murder investigation when a young girl begs him for help. But Rose is not the only one seeking his legendary lockpicking skills.
Shadowy characters from his past also have a bargain for him: will Perry accept their terms for Rose's sake?
Set in Oxford, The Lock is a traditional British cosy murder mystery in the style of classic detective stories.
Availability: I am happy to make ARCs available ahead of the release date (23rd April). I can supply ePub, .mobi or pdf.
