"Among the Shadows" by Bruce Robert Coffin |
Join me in congratulating Bruce Coffin on the launch of his first crime novel!
I met Bruce at a Sisters in Crime event and was struck one fact: He's a cop who can write. We all assume cops are filled with great stories, but when you find one who can spin yarn and write about it in a compelling fashion, we have a winner! Buy his book from Amazon right now!!! What are you waiting for?
Haven't clicked through yet? Well, he's already getting great buzz:
“Compulsively readable, Among the Shadows is that rare cop novel that’s
chock full of blood-and-guts detail while taking the reader along on a ride of a
lifetime. Detective John Byron is a great character, and the reader will be
eager for the next installment of his story.” – Gayle Lynds, New York Times
bestselling author of The Assassins
