A new thriller book from the Minstrel's Alley publication house has been announced. "The Blood Orange" is the new thriller book and it is written by Gordon Basichis.
The thriller book is based on the modern day Los Angeles but it takes on the legends of Spanish California. As is the company style, it has been listed on Amazon.com and it is also available on download on the Kindle as an EBook. Even the users of the Apple iBook can read this thriller book on download. The book is also available for sale in Barnes & Noble, Ingram Book Company, and Baker & Taylor distributors. The Minstrel's Alley seeks to publish novels which the conventional publishing houses reject.
The publishing house has high hopes on the thriller book as it is set in the modern day Los Angeles and it also includes the Bandit legends with their characteristic violence, intrigue and struggles. M.J. Hammond, the Publisher and President at Minstrel's Alley, describes the book as a book which is both quirky and filled with dark humour. There are twists and turns in the plots and the storyline does not follow the predictable patterns which are seen in many such mystery thrillers.
