Hi all

I have been honoured to be given the chance to participate in a cover reveal for #bookouture author Carol What and the book is The Missing Girls.

THE MISSING GIRLS by Carol Wyer

Out on 14th September 2017

One girl found dead. Another girl gone…

Long shadows danced on the tin walls. Inside the trunk lay Carrie Miller, wrapped in plastic, arms folded across her ribcage, lips sealed tight forever…

When, a girl’s body is found at a Midlands storage unit, it is too decomposed for Detective Robyn Carter to read the signs left by the killer.

No one knows the woman in blue who rented the unit; her hire van can’t be traced. But as the leads run dry another body is uncovered. This time the killer’s distinctive mark is plain to see, and matching scratches on the first victim’s skeleton make Robyn suspect she’s searching for a serial killer. 

As Robyn closes in on the killer’s shocking hunting ground, another girl goes missing, and this time it’s someone close to her own heart. 

Robyn can’t lose another loved one. Can she find the sickest individual she has ever faced, before it’s too late?

An utterly gripping and darkly compelling detective thriller that will have fans of Robert Dugoni, Angela Marsons and James Patterson hooked from the very start. You will not guess the ending!

Welcome to the official cover reveal for The Detriment the second book in the series that all started with The Theseus Paradox 

COVER REVEAL FOR THE DETRIMENT: 

A COMPELLING DETECTIVE THRILLER BASED ON TRUE EVENTS
Today, crime fighter turned crime writer, David Videcette, is very excited to share with us the cover reveal for his second thriller, The Detriment.

David says: “After twenty years in the police, I’m used to unmasking criminals, but today I’m delighted to reveal the cover of The Detriment for the very first time.” 

“A detective thriller, it follows on from The Theseus Paradox, my first novel, which was set against the backdrop of the 7/7 London attacks.”

“This second outing for Detective Jake Flannagan sees him sailing close to the wind as he struggles to thwart a nightclub bomb plot and a blazing Jeep attack on an airport. I use my police knowledge in my books, and The Detriment is once again based on true events and actual criminal investigations.”

Here are David’s top five tips for creating a cover:  

Remember that we all judge a book by its cover, even if we say we don’t! Give the design as much forethought as you would your writing.

Kickstart the process by throwing together a ‘mood board’ of images and colours which appeal – and even those which don’t!

Design should always reflect your book’s content, otherwise it’s just decoration.

Have an outline idea of what you’d like, but remain flexible.

Engage with the professionals, because you’ll need their design expertise to make your book look as good as it can.
The Detriment launches on 29th June, but you can pre-order it on Kindle today.

And a special treat a video.

It is with great pleasure I can share with you the wonderful new cover for Rachel Amphlett and her latest novel in the Kay Hunter Series.
