Murder, friendship and honor?
I'm delighted to welcome thriller author Giacomo Giammatteo to my blog today, as part of the Killer Thriller Book Launch Event. Just click on the picture above to find out more... and read on to learn about Murder, Friendship and Honor straight from the author. Over to you Jim.
Murder Has Consequences is the
second book in the Friendship & Honor series.
I know it seems odd to be talking about murder in
the same sentence as friendship and honor, but that is exactly what this
series explores. It’s about two guys who grew up as best friends, almost
brothers, but one became a cop and one a hit man.
Did you ever wonder how far you can push friendship
before it snaps?
Thirty years ago, four boys swore an oath to be
friends forever, and to always have each others’ back. In Murder Takes Time—the
first book in the series—that oath pushed one of the boys to an early grave and
one into hiding. Only two of them are left, but the oath remains.
Nicky Fusco’s words set the theme for the second book:
“Oaths are something you swear to when you’re young,
and wish you hadn’t when you get old.”
How far would you go to honor an oath made when
you were 8-years old? How much would you sacrifice? Suppose it meant
breaking a promise to your wife? Or to God?
When Detective Frankie Donovan gets in trouble—and the
law can’t help him—he turns to his best friend, Nicky Fusco. The problem is
that Nicky promised his family, and God, that he’d go straight.
Most people don’t think of criminals as having honor;
these stories might change your mind.
