I was going to publish Summer Soldier as a freebie on Smashwords on Saturday 22 December 2012. However, I feel that there are on or two issues that need attending to. Therefore, I have decided to delay publication while I revisit the text. With hindsight, I have attempted to publish while I am fully occupied with Brent Street and consequently missed one or two things. Even though it is a free story, I would much sooner it be right, hence the change of heart. Expect to see it in the New Year.
Here's a synopsis.
After two particularly audacious attacks in May 2008, a
lucky break brings about a sea change in the life of a serial rapist. The
attacks stop and the trail goes cold. A bounty of fifty grand attracts Lucy
Harlow to the case, but soon she’s as frustrated as the police. Meanwhile, a
young woman on holiday in Spain proves a temptation too much for the latent
rapist. But now he can’t run away from the scene and thus the trappings of his
new successful life, and so the latest victim pays with her life. The murder
seems totally unconnected to the rapes, but a foray into the macho world of
carp fishing gives Lucy a new angle and puts her on the trail of Summer
Solider...
Summer Soldier is the fourth in the Lucy Harlow detective
series of short stories.
