Cover Reveal: The Janus Run – Douglas Skelton

Today I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share the first glimpse of the new Douglas Skelton novel with you all.

Having thrilled readers with the phenomenal Davie McCall series and then entertained us with that tricky balance of thrills and chuckles with two books featuring the fast-talking Dominic Queste books. Now we have something new (and very different) to look forward to.

The Janus Run is due to release in September 2018 and it will not be a Scottish thriller this time as Mr Skelton is heading West and taking us to the US.

I know this is a Cover Reveal but before we get to the pretty bit of the post I really want to share a little more of what we can look forward to from The Janus Run…first the blurb, then the cover.

The Janus Run – Douglas Skelton

‘A bullet doesn’t know good from evil, right from wrong. A bullet only knows how to kill. I was a bullet…’

 

For Cole Lang, the past was buried. A successful advertising executive, he has put one horrific marriage behind him but ahead was a new life with corporate lawyer Gina Scolari.

But then someone murders Gina. In his bed.

Big mistake.

They thought he was just a white collar pushover but they were wrong. He has secrets.

Gina had secrets, too, and one of them may have got her killed.

Was it because of her father, Tony Falcone, a former Mafioso who turned rat?

Or was it something else? Something from Cole’s past, from his days with Janus, a group so shadowy only those in the highest echelons of government know of its existence.

In the frame and on the run from the dogged cop Rosie Santoro and US Marshal TP McDonough, Cole must tap into old skill in order to survive.

But those old skills are rusty and that could prove lethal.

He forges an uneasy alliance with Falcone, who seeks revenge for his daughter’s death.

Falcone has baggage of his own, mistakes in his past he must address if they are to survive. Not the least is the Marino family, out for blood.

They have the law, the feds and the mob on their tail as they dodge bullets and bodies across the Five Boroughs.

Meanwhile, someone else is tying off loose ends. Is it Nicky ‘The Juke’ Bruno, the Marino’s cold-hearted enforcer? Or is the chilling professional killer Mister Jinks responsible?

And all the while, Janus watches and waits.

 

I SIMPLY CAN NOT WAIT.

 

Now that all important cover, keep your eyes peeled for this book and when you see it in a shop you will know to pick it up and take it to a till…

 

LUSH.
