New publication is local writer’s twelfth novel

Athlone man Sean (J P) Burke has just published his latest novel 'Double Whammy', his 12th overall and his 10th in the Detective Scobie Tierney series. Amazon's book overview perfectly reflects the storyline and reads as follows:

“In Double Whammy, a US President's visit to his ancestral home in rural Ireland coincides with a deadly political conspiracy.

A controversial bill threatening oil interests abroad triggers a sinister assassination plot aiming to install a more sympathetic leader through a "double whammy" - eliminating both the President and the Vice President.

As ex-marine snipers are despatched and the gears of high-stake subterfuge turn, Irish Detective Inspector Scobie Tierney finds himself at the centre of a deadly international game.

Blending political intrigue, espionage and razor-sharp wit, this gripping thriller tracks intersecting agendas across continents where power, profit and loyalty collide.”

Sean's other titles are The Schiapello Cross, Perfumed Cargo. The Pengwu Dragonhead, Excalibur's Run, A Snatch Of Tinsel, Cauldron of Conspiracy, Case Closed, Resurrection, Random Number, Petra and The Zhang Medallion.

This latest title and all the other titles are available on Amazon.ie and the other Amazon sites
