Readers who love a good murder mystery can enter a contest to win a free ebook of author Andy Potter's lastest novel, The Color Red.

The mystery in the new novel revolves around a wealthy man with a conscience. While most murders hinge on money — greed — in The Color Red, Rollo Novak is killed because of his renunciation of money, his anti-greed, said the Georgian Bay author in a news release.

“When Detective Ivy Bourque finds Rollo Novak and his wife hanging at their Cape Cod villa, she suspects a double homicide. But who’s the culprit: the ex-wife, the disinherited son, the wife's criminal family, a business rival, or does the motive go back to Novak's troubled youth in the former Yugoslavia?" author Ken Haigh writes in an overview of the novel.

"Author Potter keeps us guessing until the final chapter in this well-plotted clever mystery, the first in what I hope will be a long series featuring Detective Bourque. In Bourque, former undercover cop turned detective, Potter has created a smart and savvy protagonist. Highly recommended.” 

Publishers Weekly, an international authority on new books, has also reviewed the book. Here a snippet: “Impressive series launch. Fans of intelligent procedurals will hope for a long series run.”

To enter The Color Red giveaway contest, simply email your name to [email protected] with the subject line TCR EBOOK, by May 21, 2023. Winners will be selected at random.
