A very happy paperback publication day to Neil Broadfoot for No Place To Die! This is the second Connor Fraser novel, the follow up to No Man's Land, which I loved - you can read my review here. I haven't had chance to read No Place To Die yet, but I've taken a peak, and it's got a corker of an opening. Just can't wait to get stuck into it, and I'll share my review as soon as it's done. But for now, you can find out more about the book below.
The Blurb:
Blair Charlston swapped the stock market for salvation - and
now he's making a killing. Once a controversial venture capitalist, Charlston
reinvented himself as a personal and business development guru after surviving
an attempt to take his own life when a business deal went disastrously wrong.
So when he decides to host a weekend retreat on the outskirts of Stirling for
more than 300 people, Connor Fraser is drafted in to cover the security for a
man who is at once idolised as a saviour and hated as a ruthless asset
stripper. For Connor, it's an unwelcome assignment. He's never had much time
for salvation by soundbite, and Charlston's notoriety is attracting the
attention of reporter Donna Blake, who's asking more questions than Connor has
answers for. But when an old colleague of Donna's is found brutally bludgeoned
to death, and the start of Charleston's weekend of salvation becomes a literal
trial by fire, Connor must race to unmask a killer whose savagery is only
matched by their cunning.
No Place To Die is published by Constable in paperback today. It is already available in a hardback format. You can purchase it from Amazon, Waterstones or it's worth checking if your usual independent bookseller can take orders. Many can, and they could really do with our support just at the moment.

Neil Broadfoot worked as a journalist for 15 years at both national and local newspapers, including The Scotsman, Scotland on Sunday and the Evening News, covering some of the biggest stories of the day.
Falling Fast, which was shortlisted for the Dundee International
Book Prize, is the first in the Edinburgh-set McGregor and Drummond series of
thrillers.
His new Stirling-set series, which begins with No Man's Land
and features close protection expert Connor Fraser, has been hailed as
"tense, fast moving and bloody" and "atmospheric, twisty and
explosive" with a "complex cast of characters and a compelling
hero". No Man's Land was longlisted for the 2019 McIlvanney Award.
As a husband and father of two girls, Neil finds himself
regularly outnumbered in his own home. He is also one of the Four Blokes In
Search of a Plot, a quartet of crime writers who live write a story based on
suggestions from the audience. The Four Blokes have appeared in England, Spain
and Scotland.
