Simon Wood's THE FALL GUY
New to Kindle & Smashwords is my crime caper, The Fall Guy.
Description: Todd Collins has failed in every job he's ever undertaken, but that all changes when he backs his jalopy in a shiny, new Porsche belonging to a drug dealer. When the police stop the drug dealer for a broken taillight that Todd has caused and discover a cocaine shipment, a West Coast kingpin holds Todd responsible. On the run from organized crime, Todd discovers his true calling. What They Are Saying About The Fall Guy: “Elmore Leonard would be proud to have written this twisty, action-packed tale.” — Cemetery Dance “Tightly crafted. Wood delivers the goods!” — Reviewing The Evidence “For a novice reader of Wood's work, this is an excellent place to start.” — Hellnotes “Crime hasn’t been this much fun or unpredictable since the second-story man John Dortmunder squeezed himself into a dishwasher.” —The Drowning Machine Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/The-Fall-Guy-ebook/dp/B00427YO2W Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/24170 I hope people will look it up.

I’m guest blogger for Scott Nicholson. I recount the true life incident that led to the writing of The Fall Guy and proving there’s no such thing as the perfect crime, well, not at seventeen, leastways.

THE FALL GUY picked the following review from Surrounded by Books.
"Perhaps there is no such thing as a coincidence in Simon Wood's THE FALL GUY. When Todd Collins has a fender bender with a Porsche, he thinks leaving a fake note will take care of everything. His problems just begin, though, when the small man makes Todd pay. THE FALL GUY is a novel of revenge and vengeance. By being thrown into the dealings of a major drug cartel, Todd learns that he might have found the job for him, but even saving his own life comes at a price too high for him to pay. Mr. Wood yanks the reader into the novel full of twists and turns. I couldn't go through the pages fast enough to find out what would happen next to Todd. THE FALL GUY is a great action mystery story that takes the reader from California to Texas to Seattle and back to California." http://surroundedbybooksreviews.blog...-by-simon-wood. I nice little Xmas gift to me. :-) |

This customer review made me smile more than any other I've ever received, because it's kinda true. :-)
"Simon Wood is an up and coming mystery writer who writes like some mobster is standing over him with a cleaver, telling him to make a good story or else. He writes like his life depends on it. Brisk action, suspense, thrills, and surprises at every turn." http://www.amazon.com/The-Fall-Guy-ebook/dp/B00427YO2W |

Amazon has cut the price of The Fall Guy to 99cents. It's more than a bargain now.
