Pro Se, a cutting edge independent publisher of New Pulp and
Heroic Fiction, adds yet another genre to its already stellar catalog- The
Modern Crime Novel! From Author
Jason Kahn comes the explosive Police thriller BADGE OF LIES!
“Pro Se prides itself,” Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief and
Partner in Pro Se, states, “on providing a wide variety of Genre and Pulp
Fiction for readers to take advantage of.
BADGE OF LIES from Jason Kahn is the next great step in doing that. Equal mixes of police procedural, crime
novel, two fisted pulp, and shadowy noir, this novel also explores several deep
themes, including the bond of friendship, the choices a person makes that
define them, and the extreme grayness that morality can become. Jason captures each and every
character with an almost instant photo type quality- you see them as they exist
fully in every moment- and then masterfully pours them together into this hard
hitting, fast flowing narrative.”
In BADGE OF LIES, Metro City Detective Frank Arnold has just
buried his partner and best friend.
Arnold soon learns that Mitch Connell may not have been the man Frank
thought he was. And Arnold cannot
drink away what’s coming.
BADGE OF LIES peels back the hard bitten exterior of two
men- One, a recovering alcoholic detective who’s just laid his best friend to
rest, the other the dead friend and all the secrets he tried to carry to his
grave. Secrets that Frank Arnold
is left to deal with. Like the
grieving mistress who winds up dead.
Ties to organized crime. A
cryptic warning from beyond the grave telling Frank he’s in trouble and not to
trust anyone. This is the legacy Mitch
Connell leaves his friend, a legacy that sends Arnold into a crazy game of
suspicion, pursuit, and murder.
"Badge of Lies," Kahn explains, "is a story of trust and betrayal, of a good cop who has to do bad things to make things right. Thanks to Pro Se Productions for making this possible, and I hope everybody enjoys the ride!"
In Frank Arnold, Kahn creates a character hard boiled enough
to walk fictional streets with Hammett’s and Chandler’s creations! A cop
hardened by the job, toughened by the very crime he fights, Arnold will stop at
nothing to discover the truth about his partner’s death and stay alive in the
bargain.
Can a good cop survive in the big city or does he have to
wear a BADGE OF LIES? Modern Crime
