Thank you for asking Mark. I'm delighted to know you're waiting to read another of my novels.
There is a sequel under way. It’s set in London the summer of ’48, ties up some loose ends and develops some characters from Shamus Dust. There are a couple of connection planted in Shamus Dust, though you really need to know your Chandler to spot them. But that said, the new book gives Newman an entirely new case and will stand alone.
It’s been interesting deciding which characters to revisit, how fleeting or important they’ll be, and of course, how to introduce them to readers who don’t already know them from the earlier story.
