Number 1 ebook bestseller!

I'm chuffed to bits to say that the first novel in my Cooper & Fry series BLACK DOG has hit the number 1 spot on Barnes & Noble's ebook bestseller list. Not bad for a book that was first published 14 years ago!



Also available for the Kindle:

ONE OF MY FAVOURITES - AT JUST 99 CENTS!

ÌýA story of guilt, sacrifice & redemption in a snowy Peak District winter.ÌýOne of my personal favourites in the Cooper & Fry series, BLOOD ON THE TONGUE, is currently available to download at just $0.99 in its brand new Witness Impulse ebook edition for the USA.ÌýAnother bargain! ÌýIt's a new year for Ben Cooper and Diane Fry, and that means new mysteries to solve in the icy depths of a bitter winter. ÌýIt isn't the easiest way to commit suicide, but the dead woman seems to have simply curled up in the freezing snow and lain there until her heart stopped. There was no one to observe her death but the foxes and the hares. Yet she is riddled with bruises. Her demise is horrifying. Is it also suspicious?
When two more bodies are found, Cooper and Fry begin to wonder whether these tragedies are connected - and whether they will survive the winter�

"A story full of emotion and atmosphere" - a review of BLOOD ON THE TONGUE from 'Mystery Sequels':

The second Cooper & Fry novel DANCING WITH THE VIRGIN...

The second Cooper & Fry novel DANCING WITH THE VIRGINS is now available for US readers in its new Witness Impulse ebook edition.
Ìý
VIRGINS was a CWA Gold Dagger finalist when it was first published, and it was voted Best British Crime Novel of the Year by readers in the USA.Ìý

Described as "an atmospheric, psychological stunner", it tells the story of a young womanÌýwhose body isÌýfound within a prehistoric stone circle in the Peak District, her arms and legs arranged to look as though she's dancing. Young Derbyshire police detectives Ben Cooper and Diane Fry must unlock the memories trapped insideÌýthe mind of a previous victim before more blood is shed amongst the stones...

You canÌýdownload the new ebook edition in the US right now at just $2.99:

Amazon Kindle:


B&N Nook:


Sony Ereader:


Kobo:


Meanwhile, the first book BLACK DOG reached number 8 on the Sony bestseller list when it was released by Witness Impulse in October, andÌýit's been in the Nook Top 50 bestsellers for the past two weeks.

This feels pretty amazing, considering that BLACK DOG was first published 13 years ago, way back in 2000! ItÌýproves that readers aren't totally focussed on the latest 'big thing', butÌýare capable of appreciating a book long after its initial publication.ÌýThe folk at William Morrow have also done a great job launching the new Witness Impulse list, which features a lot of terrific titles.

BLACK DOG isÌýcurrently available at a special promotional price of just 99 cents. So if you're in the USA and youÌýhaven't discovered the CooperÌý& Fry series, now would be a good time to start! Follow the links below:

Amazon Kindle:


B&N Nook:


Sony Ereader:


Kobo:


Witness Impulse have an incredible publishing schedule in place, and the third book in the Cooper & Fry series BLOOD ON THE TONGUE will be released on 3rd December.
