by BWW News Desk - April 06, 2016
Barking Rain Press, a non-profit fiction publisher, announced the paperback and eBook release of the noir thriller 'Frostbite' by New Hampshire author J.E. Seymour. 'Frostbite' is the third book in the 'Kevin Markinson' series; 'Lead Poisoning' was the first book in the series, and 'Stress Fractures' was the second book. A fourth book is planned. Former mob troubleshooter Kevin Markinson returns for a thrilling game of cat and mouse in Book 3 of the 'Kevin Markinson' series. Markinson has finally settled back into prison life, hoping to serve out his sentence and return home to his family. Unfortunately for Markinson, fate has other plans. Mob boss Jerry Remora has decided that it's time for his ex-wife, Lucy Remora, to go... preferably before she can testify against him in a federal racketeering trial. When he orders his right-hand man to hire the best hitman in the business to take her out, a plan is hatched to break Duke Markinson out of prison to do the job-whether he wants to or not. U.S. Marshal Sally Barnard has tracked Markinson down before, and when she learns that he has escaped from prison again, she immediately volunteers to bring him in. Lucy Remora also hears about Duke's escape and panics, running away from protective custody to escape what she knows will be certain death from Markinson's gun. In the cold and snow of a New Hampshire winter, the deadly chase begins. Can reluctant hitman Markinson find a way to get out of the contract and avoid a return trip to prison? Ask for 'Frostbite' at your favorite bookstore, or buy it online at the Barking Rain Press website, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Powells, Waterstones, and many other Internet bookstores.
