Welcome to The Irresponsible Reader’s part in the Cover Reveal for Curtis Ippolito’s Burying the Newspaper Man! It is eye-catching! But before we get to his great cover down below, but before the picture, I’ve got a few words to share about the book.

Book Blurb

A dead body. A dark past. An ordinary man with everything to lose.

Marcus Kemp is a regular beat cop living a normal life in San Diego, California. Until the day he makes a shocking discovery: a dead body in the trunk of a stolen car. Worse, the victim turns out to be the man who abused him as a child.

Marcus instinctively wants to help the killer get away with murder and, disregarding his police oath, will stop at nothing to make it happen. With both his job and freedom in jeopardy, his investigation leads him to an unexpected killer, and Marcus is soon faced with an impossible decision.

Can he finally bury the past before it drags him under?

Date of publication: March 16, 2021

The Cover

Burying the Newspaper Man
That just jumps out at you, doesn’t it? (it also makes me want to check my fingers for newsprint smudges) Another winning cover from the people at Red Dog.

Again, this book comes out on March 16th, but you can pre-order this now at: Red Dog Press or Amazon (but you should absolutely order from Red Dog directly, the Bezos retirement fund is big enough, help out the publisher).



My thanks to Red Dog Press for the invitation to participate in this reveal and the materials they provided.
