Happy Tuesday, everybody! I’m delighted to announce that Snake Oil Bullet, the eighth Harmony Black adventure, is available now. It’s currently out as an ebook in North America and Europe, and print versions will be available as soon as they finish final quality checks (realistically, tomorrow afternoon.) Also, I’m making up for lost time on audio adaptations: Susannah Jones will be recording the audio versions of Never Send Roses and Snake Oil Bullet back to back in a couple of months.
What’s it about? Here’s the quickie back-cover blurb:
It should have been a routine mission: stop the sale of a bio-organic weapon, round up the bad guys, and fly home before breakfast. Harmony Black and Jessie Temple are field agents for Vigilant Lock, a covert agency that defends humanity against supernatural threats; espionage, monsters, and mayhem are all in a day’s work. What they find this time, though, is a puzzle demanding an answer.
An old nemesis of the team has been murdered, and they didn’t pull the trigger.
Unsure if they’re dealing with a friend or a foe, the investigation leads Harmony and Jessie into a world of big money and bigger lies. The trail of clues leads from a shady tech startup in Silicon Valley to a “wellness retreat” for millionaires in the Catskill Mountains, a whirlwind tour through the lifestyles of the rich, famous, and dead.
As the ghosts of the team’s past come back to haunt them, a new enemy is rising in the shadows. An enemy who knows exactly who Harmony and Jessie are, what they’re capable of, and how to take them down. This mystery is a trap woven from lies and illusions, and it’s about to spring shut.
We’re bringing back and resolving some long-dangling plot threads in this one, saying goodbye to a few old foes and hello to some new and entirely more dangerous ones. Change is in the air and it’s all building to…well. That’d be a spoiler.
I hope you enjoy it! Have an amazing week, and stay safe.
