Aurora

by Elizabeth Horton-Newton

A new Crime Noir Thriller from the Seductress of Suspense.
"I remember the first time I laid eyes on her. You might think that’s a romantic, womanly thing to say. Maybe I am a romantic. Something about the way the spotlight shone down on her platinum hair, her full, red lips just inches from the microphone that carried her sultry voice across the room, reached deep down inside of me. Once she had hold, I knew she would never let go. I didn’t want her to."
From the first moment Mike laid eyes on Aurora Diamond he wanted her. He was willing to take any risk to have her; even if it meant risking his life. When club owner and crime boss Max DiSalvo hired Mike to be Aurora's driver and keep an eye on her extra-curricular activities, he didn't know he left the wolf to guard the henhouse. Aurora is no angel, and she set her sights on Mike early in the game. Was he the man who would rescue her from Max's clutches, or was Mike just the latest victim to Aurora's obvious charms? Is there more to this triangle than meets the eye? And where is Mike's brother Danny? Who will be left standing at the end of this thrilling crime noir by award-winning author, Elizabeth Horton-Newton?
Crime Noir author Adam C. Mitchell designed the cover and upon reading an advance copy of the book said, "WOW! What a read!"

About the author

Elizabeth Horton-Newton has been called the Seductress of Suspense because she draws readers into her stories, builds the suspense, and just when the solution seems to be obvious, she pulls the rabbit out of the hat and reveals a dark truth. Her lifelong interest in the Kennedy assassination conspiracy resulted in her first novel, "View From the Sixth Floor: An Oswald Tale". With the release of her second book, "Riddle", she once again tackles a social issue; the illegal adoption of First Nations babies separated from their families. Small town prejudices against people of color and "outsiders" result in a unique friendship between two young people. Weaving a romantic thriller around the issues, she creates rich characters in all her writing, drawing the reader into their lives. With her education in Criminal Psychology, Sociology, and Media Communications she offers a unique insight into how criminals think and how society responds to their crimes. Volunteering in local Domestic Violence groups in her hometown, she likes to confront social problems in her stories. Elizabeth currently lives in a 100-year old haunted house with her husband, writer Neil Douglas Newton, and her dog, Scout (named for a character in "To Kill a Mockingbird"). Not limited to a single genre, she has written erotic romance, "Carved Wooden Heart" (with the mysterious Starla Hartless), and the suspenseful "Stolen Gypsy", as well as novelettes through Electric Eclectic Books. She is currently working on a new novel, "Blood on Murder Highway", loosely based on the murders and disappearances of indigenous women in the Pacific Northwest. Her new crime noir novella will be available winter 2019. When she isn't writing she is usually traveling or taking photographs and often both simultaneously.
