In praise of proofreaders

From the final type corrections on my new novel SOME DIE NAMELESS, out in July from Mulholland Books and Mulholland U.K. This, folks, is why copy editors don't get paid enough.

SOME DIE NAMELESS

My new novel, SOME DIE NAMELESS, will be published by Mulholland Books/Little, Brown in July, with a simultaneous publication in the United Kingdom via Mulholland U.K.

From the jacket copy:

Ray Devlin is retired, living a simple life off the grid in Florida, when a visit from om an old colleague stirs some bad memories – and ends with a gunshot. Soon Devlin is forced to again face a past he'd hoped to leave behind, as a member of a mercenary force that helped put a brutal South American dictator into power.

Tracy Quinn is an investigative reporter at a struggling Philadelphia newspaper decimated by layoffs and cutbacks. Then one day what appears to be a straightforward homicide--a body left in an abandoned rowhouse – draws her and Devlin together, and ultimately enmeshes both in a conspiracy that stretches over twenty years and reaches to the highest levels of the U.S. government.

Before long, they're both the targets of a ruthless assassin haunted by his own wartime experiences. For Devlin, it could all mean a last shot at redemption. For Tracy, the biggest story of her career might just cost her life.
