THE 'NEAR ENEMY' PAPERBACK IS COMING! THE 'NEAR ENEMY' PAPERBACK IS COMING!

And it looks like this:

I am biased but I think it is spiffy.

If you read and enjoyed SHOVEL READY but haven't yet read Book Two, I can only ask: Why do you hate pleasure? What are you waiting for? Isn't Autumn the perfect season to take another trip to dystopic, radioactive New York and hunker back down with your (hopefully) favorite garbageman-turned-hitman? Who this time out is in a heap-load of trouble, thanks to some dangerous shenanigans, shady law enforcement types, the usual crew of miscreants and ne'er-do-wells, and, of course, ROMANCE.

Yes, romance. 

The spiffy, pliable, perfectly-sized-for-your-back-pocket paperback is available in stores Tuesday, October 6. Pester your favorite book clerk today to make sure a copy is waiting for you. Or you can always preorder from you-know-who-mazon, who, in typical fashion, is already offering a 44% discount on the paperback EVEN THOUGH IT HAS YET TO COME OUT.

Exploit their largesse today!
