Hello fellow members. My Book 'Compromised', a noir tale of love, suspense and guilty secrets, is on Amazon Kindle now on a pre-order basis. It's due to be released on 29th April. I'm hoping for some advance reviews and I'm giving away free copies. It's a novella, so not too long, about 140 pages.

A PDF of the novella can be downloaded free from my website: https://www.gillmather.com

Alternatively, if you'd like to message me with your email address, I'm happy to send you a pdf, mobi or epub.

And here's the blurb:

Compromised is the first story in a series of romance/crime/mystery novellas featuring Roz Benedict and Guy Attwood.

Guy formerly worked as a criminal lawyer in a town in Hertfordshire, England. He chucked in his job when his marriage broke down and his wife Liz left him for a very rich man, Desmond, taking their daughter and son with her. Guy moved to Lincoln and became a university lecturer. His daughter Andrea and son Boris are now aged respectively 26 and 24.

On a visit to his old home town to see Andrea and Boris, Guy meets Roz by chance. He recalls that he had a major crush on her years ago when he was a criminal solicitor and she was a uniformed police constable. By now Roz is a detective inspector, very much a career woman. They become involved and spend weekends together.

Over Guy’s and Roz’s growing intimacy, the recent murder of a Romanian girl hovers uncomfortably. Roz is on the team investigating the crime and finds that Guy, on the whole an easy-going person, is cagey and unforthcoming about his past in certain areas.

Guy and Roz struggle to maintain their relationship as the difficulties accumulate and facts emerge, overwhelming one of them in particular.

Compromised includes some police activity, but is not a hard police procedural novel. Compromised can be read alone, as can all the stories in the series.
