A Date With Death
A serial killer is on the loose...
Longfield welcomes the biggest pro-football game it has seen in decades. The Bees are in town, featuring the legendary quarterback, Babe George, a sexual predator.
When dead women begin to pile up in Louisville, bodies mutilated in similar attention-seeking style, Police Chief Amos turns to Detective Stewart 'Mac' Kenzie, a maverick detective, who doesn't 'walk the line' to get results.
Mac enlists his disgraced ex-partner Elmer to profile the perp. They soon find out the murders are connected to the Bears football squad. And Babe George is a prime suspect.
Problem is, with multi-million sponsor deals in place, Mac is hampered by political pressures and potential lawsuits to keep a low profile until after the game.
When the case against Babe George falls apart, Mac discovers the real killer is planning a massacre at the stadium. All on big-screen TV. With 60,000 lives at stake, including his parents and Katie his girl-friend, Mac is in a desperate race to track down this 'crazy'...
...before he unveils his masterpiece...

25 books1 followerWho is Stephen Terry?
Stephen is a semi-retired Charity Auditor, now living in Thailand. He now writes full-time, producing crime fiction (between beers). Web Page: stephenterry.weebly.com. Here is his story:
I have written for as long as I can remember, although, in later years, most of it has been churning out fifty-page professional reports, from my reviews in over forty countries. I have had my full share of sadist managers who used to pick my writing to pieces, but boy, did it help improve my spelling, grammar and presentation skills (he says between gritted teeth).
But writing novels is a whole new ball-game, and for me there’s been no short-cut to fame and glory – (violins are playing) although joining a writer’s site like Word Cloud, and posting pieces for critique, has really sharpened my writing, and quickened the learning process. I even won a couple of Flash Fiction (fun) competitions, there (he says, modestly).
These experiences (sufferings) have given me a sound foundation to launch my novels onto the unsuspecting public. I completed my first full-length novel, No Money No Honey, in 2010. NMNH is a black-humour crime caper based in Thailand – I liked the story (well I would, wouldn’t I?) even though I would have written it differently, now. In the same year, I finished A Date with Death, a US based Police Detective thriller. This year I finished two Novellas, Hawaii High Five and Hawaii Hi Low, crime stories for leisure reading. Now for the ‘sales’ pitch: if you want to laugh at my formative writing, all of these have been self-published on Kindle at £0.86. I have sold about three copies of each and have yet to have a review posted – so be warned...
I have many more stories on the go, all at various stages of completion, and I wonder how I have enough time to do anything else, apart from stocking up the beer fridge. South Thailand, where I live by the sea in a small agricultural and fishing town, is so relaxing. It’s like a retreat 24-7, 365.
Wow – is that the time? Time for a Chang – see you guys, later.
