Some of you have been asking me about the date of publication for my next book. I know I usually come out in August, but it just didn’t happen in 2011. However I am happy to report that the newest book, GUN GAMES, is out on January 3, 2012. I get to write about my favorite subjects – adolescents, the purveyors of creativity and psychopathology. This is a story about what happens when teenagers go right and what happens when teenagers go terribly wrong. It picks up from HANGMAN left off. At the end of HANGMAN, Decker and Rina have welcomed Gabriel Whitman, son of the notorious Christopher Donatti, into their home. Gabe seems to be adjusting well although he is secretive and elusive. And even though Decker is living with the boy, he realizes that he doesn’t know much about him.
Decker’s uneasiness is brought into focus when he is suddenly faced with the suicide of a young prep school boy who’s Gabriel’s age. Although it is clear that the teen, Gregory Hesse, has shot himself, it may not have been a planned suicide, And when another young teen from the same school is found dead with a self-afflicted gunshot wound, Decker and his team – Detectives Marge Dunn and Scott Oliver – kick the cases into high gear. It is a case of deadly cliques and its horrendous consequences.
GUN GAMES is a mystery of course. I write crime novels and this one is no exception. But GUN GAMES is also a love story and I’m a sucker for a good romance.
Have the happiest of holidays and enjoy. Thank you all for your generous support.
