A Bloody Business
A Thriller Across the 20th Century
Guns. Cigarettes. Bad men. Blood money. Whiskey. Gin. The course of history on the line.
…and more cigarettes.
“One man’s payday is another man’s worst day.
That man being me, of course.
…the one who is being paid, not the one dying…
You know what, you get the idea.”
Interview with Martin Williams, recent Employee of the Month award recipient
A Bloody Business
I know, I know. I’ve got the book title plastered everywhere. But there’s a very good reason. I need Google to know that this page is for anyone interested in A Bloody Business. Hang on. Not sure it heard me. *cups hands together*
A Bloody Business!! Fresh out the oven. Get it here 👈
We all have to play the game, you know? Now for the actual pitch:
The Synopsis
Across nine action-packed chapters, follow Martin Williams on his unorthodox career. That career? A hitman for his paymasters The Firm.
As an organization with global reach, The Firm does business with all sorts of characters of “less than stellar repute.” Corrupt officials, greedy businessmen, war criminals: all welcomed into the team. Inevitably, some of these unsavory sort get their own ideas that they can cheat, steal, or otherwise bite the hand that feeds.
And when that day comes, The Firm’s top employee invariably comes knocking. From racing freezing waters in the sinking RMS Titanic to dodging artillery bursts in the depths of the Korean War, Martin lets nothing stand in the way of his next payday.
After all, he knows failure is not an option. Or else he’ll find himself at the top of the next assignment list.
But don’t just take my word for it:
Cara (Amazon)
I love well-delivered bits and a hitman with a cosmic draw to historical events felt like equal parts new and classic trope. Enjoy!
Matt (Amazon)
Fans of Archer, Get Smart, The Man From U.N.C.L.E, and other classic spy stories, you will love this book. It has the highest seal of approval I can give for the genre–I gave my copy to my dad.
Paul (Vocal)
Everything is expertly paced because as rich in detail as some parts are, it is never at the expense of moving the story along. … From start to finish, it is an irreverent, rip-roaring, bloody charmer.
A world of adventure awaits
I’ve worked long and hard on A Bloody Business, and I can’t wait to share it with you. It has a bit of everything: action, intrigue, romance, danger, history. All served with a healthy portion of comedy. Entertainment is calling you!
The only question that remains is… will you answer?
