About this ebook

For conman Reuben Littlejohn going straight was never going to be easy. Then he’s blackmailed into murder – and it gets a whole lot harder.

“What a clever story with a wonderful balance of mystery and suspense and light-hearted comedy and fun.” A Life Through Books.

Career conman Reuben Littlejohn is determined to go straight this time after his release from prison, with the help of his new wife.

But he hadn't counted on stumbling across a plot to kill his parole officer Lucy, with whom he is madly in lust. Or being blackmailed into becoming an accomplice to her murder.

Never have his skills in lying and cheating been so vital! Can he save his own life as well as Lucy’s, without his wife finding out?

If you like Donald Westlake and Colin Bateman, you’ll love this book with its artful blend of comedy and crime and flawed but engaging characters.

“There is a great balance between the Crime/Mystery part of it and the Comedy. I found myself guessing the whole way through, and being wrong quite a bit, while laughing out loud.” Texas Book Nook.

Author

Robin Storey

After many years as a freelance writer, I'm now hooked on fiction writing and love being an indie author. I live on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia - beautiful one day, perfect the next - where we complain if the temperature drops to below 14 degrees Centigrade.I've written eight books so far in a variety of genres. I began with comedy, but soon discovered my true calling was in darker fiction. I love reading crime and suspense so that's what I write. I've just published Obsession - A Crime Of The Heart, Book 3 in the Night Nights series of short, stand-alone crime/suspense novels. An Affair With Danger is Book 1 and Secret Kill is Book 2.If you'd like to find out more about my books, you can find them here on Smashwords or on my website. https://storey-lines.com/my-novels/And if you subscribe to my readers' group on my website http://storey-lines.com you'll receive a FREE e-book of four short crime stories On The Edge.I love connecting with readers and other writers, so please come on over to my Facebook page and say Hi. https://www.facebook.com/RobinStoreywriterI'm a certified book nerd (too many books, not enough time!) and am a useful team member on quiz nights for the literary questions - but not much else. I enjoy hiking and chilling out at the beach, which is five minutes drive from my home. My partner and I walked the full Camino Frances pilgrimage (775 kilometres) across northern Spain in September and October 2016. It was a once in a lifetime experience and I would highly recommend it.I don't have any unusual hobbies or strange pets.
