I was delighted to see copies of “The Venetian Game” on the shelves at Libreria Studium, Calle Lunga San Marco.

This is the first time I’ve seen it on the shelves of a bookshop in Italy. I tried to be suitably dignified and restrained about the whole thing, and was as discreet as possible when I took a photograph. I hope the other customers and the proprietor understood.

Elsewhere, I’ve had a lovely review from the good folk at TripFiction.

Thriller set in Venice (secrets, shadows – and death…)

And I was ridiculously proud of having been mentioned in the Morning Star. Nathan and his friends in the Communist Bar would, I am sure, most definitely approve.

“The Venetian Game” has just been released by Little, Brown. Thanks to all those who have bought it, commented on it or just passed on their good wishes. These are exciting times, and your feedback is very much appreciated.

It’s been a busy week. Apart from the excitement of publication date, I’ve also been busy finishing the second draft of book 2 (title yet to be finalised), which will be released in 2018.
