J&C Wordsmiths, LLC proudly announces the publication of a fictional Psychological/Thriller entitled MURDER IN TWOS AND THREES, the first in a series of TASK FORCE novels. Authors Jack Gannon and Cyndi Williams Barnier (both from Beaufort, SC) published this novel only a few short weeks ago. The duo is happy to announce their novel (book and Kindle) has been well received and currently enjoys a 5-star rating, great reviews, and placement in the top 26% of all books in Amazon. The duo has been asked to write a screenplay of their novel and it has been submitted it to the annual Beaufort Film Festival for the Festival’s February judging. The novel is currently sold on their website www.jandcwordsmiths.com as well as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Book-a-Million, and innumerable other online retailers and independent bookstores worldwide. The novel is a Psychological/Thriller following the lives of a serial killer that murders in sets of twos and threes, as well as the specialized TASK FORCE team that searches for the murderer.
This novel will have the reader loving and hating the killer at the same time. The ticking time bomb of a climax provides a unique double-surprise ending, delivering the perfect final payoff. If the pair had to give this book a tag line, it would probably be “This novel makes Hannibal look like a choirboy!”
A criminal mastermind makes a bold move against a wealthy client to put himself in a position to retire in comfort. He has no idea what he's up against when a young widow, desperate to make ends meet, sets her eyes on earning the bounty set on his head.
