Back in May mystery author Sophie Littlefield announced that she would begin a new series featuring "thirty-ish Joe Bashir, a hunky Pakistani-American detective in an affluent suburb of San Francisco." (Littlefield also writes the Stella Hardesty mysteries.) Here's how she described the new series at the time: "I don't have many details yet, but let me share the pitch for the book. If you're wondering where it fits in the Littlefield imagin-o-rama, I'd say the Joe books are more procedural and 'serious' than the Stella series."
Well, the details are available now! The first book in this new series, Blood Bond, is published next week, and the publisher, Pocket Star (Simon & Schuster), has set the pre-order ebook price to just $1.99 for a limited time only from the vendors listed below.

A Joe Bashir Mystery
Sexy Pakistani-American Detective Joe Bashir is called to a crime scene in the wealthy foothills of California, where politically ambitious Bryce Engler's dinner party is ruined when a guest's body is found in a pool of blood.

When Joe turns to Gail's sister Marva for insight into the family history, he discovers that thirteen years earlier, Gail was responsible for the hazing death of a fellow co-ed. Her then-boyfriend engineered a cover-up that deflected blame onto another girl. As Joe searches out everyone who might still hold a murderous grudge, he realizes there was more to the Engler marriage than meets the eye …
