Author Ed Duncan Announces the Release of His Latest Crime Thriller 'Pigeon-Blood Red'

Cleveland, OH, February 26, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Author Ed Duncan announced today that his latest novel, Pigeon-Blood Red, is now available for purchase on Amazon, published by Zharmae. 

Pigeon-Blood Red is a fast-paced and suspenseful crime thriller. It tells the story of underworld enforcer Richard "Rico" Sanders, who believed his next assignment to be an ordinary job. Retrieve his gangster boss's priceless pigeon-blood red ruby necklace and teach the double-dealing cheat who stole it a lesson. A job like a hundred before it. But the chase quickly goes sideways and takes Rico from the mean streets of Chicago to sunny Honolulu, where the hardened hit man finds himself in uncharted territory when a couple of innocent bystanders are accidentally embroiled in the crime.

As Rico pursues his new targets, the hunter and his prey develop an unlikely respect for one another and Rico is faced with a momentous decision: follow his orders to kill the couple whose courage and character have won his admiration, or refuse and endanger the life of the woman he loves?

Duncan says, “It’s always been said that you should write what you know. I may not have been on the run from an underworld hit man, but I am a lawyer - as is a pivotal character in the novel who is being pursued by a hit man - and I'm excited to be able to use my legal training creatively as well as professionally.”

Ed Duncan is a graduate of Oberlin College and Northwestern University Law School. He was a partner at a national law firm in Cleveland, Ohio for many years. He currently lives outside of Cleveland, OH and is at work on the second installment in the Pigeon-Blood Red trilogy. To learn more, go to http://eduncan.net/.
