BUILDINGS WITHOUT MURDERS

Check out the trailer for my new novel, Buildings Without Murders, published by Atmosphere Press on March 1, 2020. Visit my brand-new website or the Atmosphere website for more information and purchasing options (paperback and e-book). In my base-town of Washington, D.C., Buildings Without Murders is available at Politics and Prose on Connecticut Avenue. The video is by multimedia artists Gabriela Bulisova and Mark Isaac; visit their website for more information on their projects. Finally, consider following my Instagram page, where I’m just getting started. I’ll follow you, if you follow me. Thanks for taking a look! 

The video is captions-enabled, or here’s the excerpt from the book that’s read aloud in the trailer: “LaRousse’s smartphone buzzed. It registered the presence of several GPS pins orbiting her own signal, a collection of competent kissers, street kids, philanthropists, and rough-house run-rioters demonstrating recalcitrant intentions. Half her body shivered in a downdraft. She traced the origins of this chilly whirlybird by sizing up the architecture of the tallest crane, from anchor to tower head, until she espied the very phenomenon that the News Update had reported for the past several broadcasts, up high, adrift above everyday birds and skyscrapers. A single, available cloud bank blundered between the forces of opposing currents, the defiant and the stoic, its magenta-white lightning bolt fizzling in a brisk state of perpetual discharge. The cloud hauled a stroke of incomplete, ornamental lightning.”
