Paul McGoran Publishes Two New Noir Novels

Just picture this - the hunky casino dealer that socialite Helena Swann meets in Las Vegas turns around and marries her stepsister for money. But Helena starts an affair with him anyway. And now she discovers that a Bible-quoting P.I. suspects him of two brutal murders. Tension mounts as our mercenary beauty finds herself caught between a rich fiancé and a murderous, but charming conman named Samson Porter - a/k/a Shoo-fly. What would you do? Help Shoo-fly bribe the detective? Turn him in to the cops? Or would you run like hell before he decides to cut your throat? These are questions Helena Swann must answer in this edgy neo-noir thriller.

"Made for Murder is an imaginative, blood-drenched journey across the country, from the sleazy underbelly of Las Vegas to the socialite haven of Newport, with many marquee destinations in between. Author Paul McGoran, a master of character development fills the story with a cast of fascinating individuals, each bound by their distinctive behavior. It's a terrific read regardless of your preferred genre. As an author and avid reader, I highly recommend this book!" says Michael Sisti, author of Executive Crumple Zone.
