About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
I'm strong. I am law and order's only hope. Judgment will be swift. Tyro rose from the booth, pulled on his leather gloves, and followed his mark from the restaurant out into the lane.
The lane was barely wide enough to allow the passage of service vehicles. Despite two dumpsters placed near the door, the alley was littered with trash, old clothes, newspaper, and bottles. He could see the blue flash of televisions screens in most of the apartment windows that lined the alley and he doubted anyone would be peering out to witness his actions.
He smiled at Kim, stopped a few feet from her, and lit up, managing not to gag as he inhaled.
"Jim doesn't enforce the smoking ban." Kim flipped her hair. "I just come out to get some fresh air." She grinned and looked away.
Her grin angered him. His heartbeat began to increase until it thumped in his chest and pounded in his ears. He took a deep calming breath, held it, and then exhaled.
"Yeah, me too," he said. He offered her one of his cigarettes. She accepted. He placed it on her lips and flipped his Zippo. Her cheeks furrowed when she inhaled. She grinned at the Bud Light beer label on the lighter and sipped her coffee.
"It's a good day to die," he said quietly.
"Pardon?"
"Happy birthday, Kim."
"What?" She retreated a step. "How the hell did you know it's my birthday?"
Tyro clenched the lighter in his fist, pulled back and struck a quick blow...
(Chapter 1, pg9)
Dead of Knight is told from the point-of-view of Detective Jack Staal and from the perspective of a killer who murders women on their birthdays. Believing he is a soldier of justice, a young man begins a callous campaign of terror, murdering women on their birthdays. Convinced of his righteousness, he continues his brutal crusade forcing the citizens of Hanson, B.C. to acknowledge a serial killer is active in their rural community.
Anxious to work the biggest case of his career, Staal is forced to the outside when the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s Integrated Homicide Teams are assigned to the case. Not one to sit on the sidelines, Staal convinces his colleagues to follow his lead and pursue a serial killer the media has dubbed Birthday Boy.
Potter has created an intriguing police procedural with a strong main character, a terrific supporting cast, and a plot with twists, turns, and plenty of red herrings. It's a captivating tale filled with plenty of tension and conflict, crisp dialogue and an unrelenting pace. Potter puts us in the story with vivid descriptions and scene-painting narrative.
Expertly constructed at 270 pages, Dead of Knight is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Mystery and Crime category. With Global wholesale distribution through Ingram, Barnes & Noble, Baker & Taylor, Books a Million and Borders, and pervasive online availability through RealTime Publishing's online store TheEbookSale.com, Amazon and elsewhere, Dead of Knight meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $14.95 and $6.95, respectively.
