Willie Black goes to Italy

The first Willie Black mystery, Oregon Hill, winner of the Dashiell Hammett Prize in 2012, was launched in Italy in November (NN Editore). The second one, The Philadelphia Quarry, will come out it Italian next year. In the meantime, Willie Black No. 10, Jordan's Branch, launches in the U.S. (Permanent Press) in February or early March. And, I've done the first draft on the one after that, which I'm excited about. It is set in Richmond in 2020, with Black Lives Matter, toppled monuments and the pandemic as the backdrop. In the midst of a pandemic, what are you going to do except write, right?
