The Cover for Regulated for Murder | Author Suzanne Adair

Here’s the cover art for Regulated for Murder. What do you think of it?

Regulated for Murder is the first book of a historical thriller series that’s a spin-off from my first trilogy (Paper Woman, The Blacksmith’s Daughter, and Camp Follower). You don’t have to read the first trilogy to enjoy the Lieutenant Michael Stoddard series, but I’m betting that Regulated for Murder will make you curious about the events in those books. And if you have read Paper Woman, The Blacksmith’s Daughter, and Camp Follower, you’ll find Michael’s series a fun read, because you’ll bump into old friends (and enemies) from that trilogy.

Here’s a description of Regulated for Murder:

For ten years, an execution hid murder. Then Michael Stoddard came to town.

Bearing a dispatch from his commander in coastal Wilmington, North Carolina, redcoat Lieutenant Michael Stoddard arrives in Hillsborough in February 1781 in civilian garb. He expects to hand a letter to a courier working for Lord Cornwallis, then ride back to Wilmington the next day. Instead, Michael is greeted by the courier’s freshly murdered corpse, a chilling trail of clues leading back to an execution ten years earlier, and a sheriff with a fondness for framing innocents—and plans to deliver Michael up to his nemesis, a psychopathic British officer.

The electronic version of Regulated for Murder is scheduled for release October 2011 and will be available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords.

Wow! This looks great! The cover is intriguing as a stand-alone, but your description really draws a reader into the story.
I’m very much looking forward to reading this!

Thanks, Tracy. I’m working to make a short story available before then that introduces Michael Stoddard and shows how the rivalry started between Fairfax and him. My reader base has grown considerably this year — Grasshopper is grateful! — and I’ll be sending out email notifications.

Thanks, Liz. Has your niece started reading The Blacksmith’s Daughter yet?

Thrilled to get The Blacksmith’s Daughter, but her mom’s having some post surgery complications, so my niece and her kids were on the road. But will let you know.
