I’d been planning on posting about Mark Peppers’s Man on a Murder Cycle this morning, but sadly I’m about an hour away from finishing it. Hopefully I can get something in this space tomorrow. But, today is Release Day and I want to get at least something up about it today–Mark Pepper and Red Dog Press have put out a heckuva book and I want to help them get eyeballs on it. At this point, I can think of at least 5 different ways this book will likely end, and I’m pretty sure they’re all wrong–and what I have waiting for me over the next 25% is going to throw me for a loop.

About the Book

HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE AN AUTHOR BETRAYED.

Tom Roker’s debut thriller was an instant bestseller. Since then, he has written four more books, none of which have been published. His reputation has faded from overnight success to one-hit wonder.

Now, finally, he’s making a comeback. His latest novel, Man on a Murder Cycle, is a blockbuster. The dark tale of Milton, a vengeful biker with a penchant for brutal acts of violence, perfectly recaptures the mood of Roker’s first novel. And everyone loves it!

It’s just a shame he didn’t write it.

The real author is recently deceased. Roker stole the manuscript, passing it off as his own. He’s covered his tracks well, so the trivial matter of who wrote what can be overlooked.

That is, until a mad man on a big bike starts killing people, exactly as described in the stolen novel – even those scenes that didn’t make the final cut.

Only one person can know what was written in those scenes, and he’s dead.

Isn’t he?
