I wish to notify you that Late Engr. Fiorentino Ramos made you a beneficiary to his WILL.He left the sum of Twenty two million five hundred thousand United States Dollars ($22,500.000.00USD)to you in the codicil and last testament to his WILL.

This may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and true. Being a widely travelled man, he must have been in contact with you in the past or simply you were recommended to him by one of his numerous friends abroad who wished you good.

UNCLAIMED FUND NOTIFICATION

I am Rev (Dr) .Patrick Wilson of the newly inaugurated World Debt Recovery committee (WDRC).My committee has a mandate to recover unpaid debts associated with NNPC contracts,Lottery fund, inheritance fund, loans and grants etc ranging from $1M-$19.5M owed to various beneficiaries and companies across the globe (Asia, Europe, USA, Africa, and Australia) and submit the list of the unpaid beneficiaries/companies to the 2 appointed official paying Banks for immediate payment of the fund.
In the course of our investigation, your email address/particulars were shortlisted among the first fifteen individuals yet to be paid hence this email. However, we received a petition today from one Mrs. Christina Morgan that you are dead. According to her, you died in a plane crash as such your fund should be paid to her as the apparent heir. She has also submitted her Bank account with Bank of America for the transfer of the fund to her.
To avoid undue delay or paying the fund to wrong individual/beneficiary, I have decided to contact you for confirmation. If I fail to hear from you after 72 hours, it will be assumed that the petition of Mrs. Morgan is true and the fund will be paid to her without further delay. Therefore, if you are still alive, reconfirm your particulars,
(1) Your full name.
(2) Phone, fax and mobile #.
3) company's name, position and address.
4) Profession, age and marital status.

Midnight - Today Is Publication Day!

Midnight is published in mass market paperback today so will hopefully be in a bookshop or supermarket near you! It's the second in the Jack Nightingale trilogy and the third, Nightmare, is already done and dusted.

I've just started work on a new eBook - The Bestseller - about a writer who kills (literally) to write a bestselling novel. Hopefully it'll be done by the summer which is when I have to start on the new Spider Shepherd novel. The Spider Shepherd novel for this year is already done - Fair Game will be out in July. The one for next year will be about home-grown Islamic terrorists and I'm still trying to work out whether or not to set it during the Olympics.... The danger is that I'll be caught out by events. We'll see!

Great Review For Bangkok Noir In The Pattaya Mail

I contributed a story to Bangkok Noir, a book of short stories which has just been published in Thailand by my good mate Christopher Moore. (The book was my idea, but that's another story!) Half the profits go to charities in Thailand, which is good news!

Anyway, we've just had a glowing review in the Pattaya Mail.

My story is another from my Inspector Zhang collection, in which he solves a mysterious murder on board a plane flying to Bangkok.
