Shadow towns, smugglers and secret notes—this trio of New York authors are a ‘Triple Shot’ of twists and turns in three novellas 

NEW YORK CITY – Acclaimed authors Charles Salzberg, Ross Klavan and Tim O’Mara have teamed up to bring triple the action, triple the twist and triple the suspense in their collection of three novellas, Triple Shot (Aug. 15, 2016). A freak accident in L.A. leads two cops through forgotten tunnels to secret towns; a marijuana dealer discovers that smuggling a legal product may be more dangerous than an illegal one; and an up-and-coming reporter gets swept up in the story of an accused woman as she tries to discover the real culprit of a brutal murder. This triple dose of mystery and suspense will tie you in knots until the very end!

TRIPLE SHOT
Payback leads to an unmarked grave in Ross Klavan’s Thump Gun Hitched. A freak accident forces two L.A. cops to play out a deadly obsession that takes them from back alley payoffs to hard time in prison, then deep into the tunnel networks south of the border to a murderous town that’s only rumored to exist. Before the last shot is fired, everything they thought was certain proves to be a shadow and everything they trusted opens into a trap.

Life was so much simpler for Tim O’Mara’s marijuana-selling narrator in Smoked when all he had to worry about was keeping his customers, ex-wife, and daughter satisfied. When he forges a reluctant alliance with his ex-wife’s new lover, he realizes there’s lots of money to be made from the world’s number one smuggled legal product—cigarettes. Unfortunately, his latest shipment contained some illegal automatic weapons. Now he’s playing with the big boys and finds the price of the game way over his head. Murder was never part of his business model.

And finally in Twist of Fate, Charles Salzberg follows Trish Sullivan, an ambitious TV reporter working in a small, upstate New York market. She receives a note from Meg Montgomery, a beautiful young woman convicted of murdering her husband and two children. Montgomery claims she’s innocent and Sullivan, smelling a big story that may garner some national attention, investigates and turns up evidence that the woman has, indeed, been framed. What happens next changes the life of both women in unexpected ways.
