Losing
the Plot
Richie
Malone #1
by
Richard Grainger
Genre:
Thriller, Romantic Suspense, Mystery
"Let
me tell you about my day so far. I’ll begin by telling you
about waking up in my Marbella villa to find a dead girl in
my bed; about being interrogated by the Spanish police – or
hombres purporting to be the Spanish police; about learning
that I’m going to have my kneecaps shattered by the
former Chief of Staff of the Provisional IRA. That is, if he can
find me before the godfather of the Andalucian Russian mafia
hunts me down. And not only that; it’s not yet ten o’clock
and I’ve taken up smoking and have drunk half a bottle of
brandy before I’ve even had breakfast." Richie Malone is
an old-school philanderer, misogynistic playboy and writer with an
undeniable charm. Although he has yet to pen anything to attract
literary acclaim using his own name, he has made a fortune writing
pornographic novels under a female pseudonym. But now his troubles
are just beginning. He needs answers, and he needs them fast. Just
who is this dead girl? How did she get here? And why his bed? And, of
course, did he kill her? Malone finds himself caught in the middle of
a turf war between Irish racketeers, the Russian Mafia and a
Columbian cartel. And so, he loses the plot. But can he get it back
before he loses everything … including his life?

You’ve
got to understand this. No one is what they appear to be. If they
tell you that they are, then they’re lying. And you’ll
see exactly why I say this when you’ve read this sorry narrative. For my
money, all women are basically the same. The only ones I tend to
remember are the truly dreadful ones. You know, the ones who bite you
like some fucking Transylvanian freak or consider it’s witty to
text that they don’t do anal on a first date. And
sometimes I get confused between my ex-wife and my
X-any-number-of-women I’ve slept with because it all breaks down
into that dreadful cauldron of white noise that is the catharsis of
any relationship; and doubtless they think the same about me, but
that’s not really the issue right now. The issue
right now is the dead girl lying next to me. Just the
bare facts would do for now, like who is she, how the fuck did she
get here and, of course, what is she doing being dead? Care
to share?
