Book Cover Reveal: Smokescreen, a thriller set in Singapore

Yours Sinisterly, , ,

 

This is the new cover for the second edition of my thriller, Smokescreen.

What do you think? It was designed by Venezuelan Juan Padrón.

I like the first cover but it was time for a fresh look to create mystique and suspense: The partial face, the blood spatter, the bullet hole. 

I had organized a little voting session on Facebook asking people to choose from a choice of several covers. 

Inspiration for the novel

Singapore’s relationship with Israel, and the time I spent in Cairo, Egypt inspired the story idea. The protagonist, Jet West,  came out during my workdays as a magazine reporter for a high society magazine. 

The novel is available on Amazon, Smashwords, Kobo
