First Line — Some Degree Of Murder & a Cover Reveal!

by · December 4, 2018

Coming into River City by bus would not have been my first choice.

This is the first line of Some Degree of Murder, my first ever collaboration. I wrote it with Colin Conway, and we set it in my River City universe. 

As is sometimes the case with collaboration novels, this first line wasn’t written by me. Colin and I tried an approach to this novel that was new to both of us then — a dual first person narrative with alternating chapters. The reader gets two voices, and two characters. Colin wrote Virgil Kelley, and this is Virgil’s opening line.

I wrote Detective John Tower, and his first line comes in chapter two:

Short, but also sets the scene. Another B, I think.

We published Some Degree of Murder in 2012, if memory serves, but on March 18, 2019, Down and Out Books is going to re-issue this novel. The re-issue comes with a cool new cover from JT Lindroos, who also did Charlie-316, another book I wrote with Colin, and one that will be announced soon by the same publisher (June release).

The cover you see here is the new one, and I think it really conveys the seedy feel of East Sprague Avenue, which is the red light district in River City where much of the action in the novel occurs.

I’m pretty thrilled to see this book under the D&O banner.
