Still awaiting the arrival of his injured wife, Ari Ciminon (The 56th Man) is already on a hair-trigger when a sniper wounds his close friend, insurance investigator Elmore Lawson, a disabled veteran who has been looking into a suspicious injury claim at Osprey Pointe, a gated community outside of Richmond, Virginia.  Ari’s search for the would-be assassin begins at Lawson’s house, where he encounters Lawson’s autistic nephew, Freddie, a possible witness to the crime.  Both Ari and Detective Yvonne Neumann, Lawson’s lover, are keen to take personal revenge on the shooter.  As a result of Freddie’s profound terror at the prospect of sharing a public toilet at a Social Services shelter, the boy is put in Neumann’s care.  Unable to watch over him during the day, she places him with Ari part-time.  But he has no intention of staying put in his safe house and takes Freddie with him in his hunt for the killer—much to the dismay of Freddie, when he discovers Ari has no qualms about using him as a decoy.
Drawn by Elmore’s notes to posh Osprey Pointe, Ari learns that wealth has its drawbacks.  For one, the residents are being blackmailed by their own security service.  But those same guards have become vulnerable to an outside force they could never have anticipated: Assassins Without Borders.
Confronted by multiple killers is bad enough.  But Ari also has to deal with a lusty housewife, Invisible Fencing, scarecrows, hunting dogs, Dollar General, explosive beheadings, cholesterol-laden killer-burgers, overhead speakers, Brazilian banks, Belgian car-exporters, wannabe Nazis, Blu-ray pirates, a reunion between a cat and her kitten that proves less than heart-warming, and a boy who insists on wearing a biohazard suit as a disguise.  Topping it all is the reason for the delay in his wife’s arrival: his only surviving son has married a woman named Rachel….

Dear J. Clayton Rogers,

I recently, within the last week, did a search for any new books on Amazon, and none showed up!!!! Plus I'm signed up on Amazon as "following", so I should have been notified. They notify me of every other author, even those I don't care for.
Well, I'm happy to know there's a new book out! So I must run and get it since I've been waiting ☺️
Take care

Thanks for letting me know. This isn't the first time. You missed the free promotion period, it seems. I'm going to let Amazon know about the problem...again. Jim

Hi,

Well it was certainly worth the wait. Another great addition to the 56th Man series.
I actually popped over here to see if had posted any updates on your latest book and saw your response.
I signed up for your newsletter, under another email address, so hopefully I'll be notified next time 😻
Take care,
Tanya

I'm still a bit confused by these notifications/website bells and whistles. The Long Pigs is available for free today. Hope you get this in time for a copy. Jim

Hi,
I did another search the other day and discovered it! Lol
I just finished the book today and enjoyed it very much... a
bit more risqué than usual though.
I'm glad the ending was an indication of more to come ❤️
I'm always afraid each book might be the last in the series 😿
Thank you so much for the notification of your free offer, but
I never can wait with your books. I even stop reading whatever
book I'm currently reading to begin yours 😹 Thank you again, Tanya

    I am the author of more than fifteen novels. I was born and raised in Virginia, where I currently reside. I was First-Place Winner of the Hollins Literary Festival a number of years ago. Among the judges were Thomas (Little Big Man) Berger and R.M.W. Dillard, poet and husband of the writer Annie Dillard. Along with my wife, I have rescued and maintained 22 stray cats, which should tell you something about me (good and bad). Permanently addicted to writing, I have just posted the 9th book in the Ari Ciminon (The 56th Man) Series.
