Birth of A New Mystery Series

Excited that my trade paperback is finally available on Amazon.com. My author website, www.nathangottlieb.com will be going up this week. The site will contain among other things, a short synopsis of books 2 and 3 in the Frank Boff Mystery Series. They are titled respectively, The Punish Game, and The Killer Sex Game.

Here are the four editorial reviews of The Hurting Game on my author page:
“Nathan Gottlieb, who knows the fascinating behind-the-scenes world of professional athletes inside-out, takes us on a compelling and suspenseful trip into the underbelly of the glitzy Las Vegas strip in order to chase down the killer of a world champion boxer. Gottlieb’s prose is as fast and firm as the stiffest jab, and his ending is simply lights-out. First-rate, fun and irreverent story telling.” (Harvey Araton, New York Times, author of Driving Mr. Yogi)
The Hurting Game is a compelling, suspenseful mystery with a stunning climax. What dies in Vegas, doesn't stay in Vegas. I can't wait for the second book in this unique series.” (Kevin Kernan, NY Post)
“Nathan Gottlieb introduces a colorful array of cops, mobsters, drug dealers, snitches and flawed heroes in this unpredictable page turner.  The Hurting Game is a heart-pounding, gritty escape from the mundane.” (Jen Estes, author of “Big Leagues” and “Curveball”)   
“This is more than just an engrossing read, this is destined to be one of the most compelling series that have come down the mystery pike in a very long time. Exploding out of the alpha-male Vegas underworld are two sleuthing superheroes: the ethically challenged but hilarious Frank Boff and the headstrong yet cunning Danny Cullen. Nat Gottlieb has made them cornerstones of this genre, and I can’t wait for their next case. Dave D' Alessandro, The Newark Star-Ledger.

Obviously I am going to have each title in the series include the word “Game.” And the book covers will all look the same, red dripping colors, suggestive of blood. So anyone who has read the first book and sees the cover for the second book, will know immediately who wrote it and the fact that this is a novel in the Frank Boff Mysteries Series.
