Minstrel’s Alley to Release “The Blood Orange”

Minstrel’s Alley will soon be releasing Gordon Basichis‘ new novel, The Blood Orange.  

The Blood Orange, a hard-edged romantic mystery thriller in upscale modern day Los Angeles, is a story of transition and transcendence, a quest for a treasure and a search for the soul. Former cop, Max Brodie, returns to his native California as a grisly murder sets in motion a deadly conflict among the rich and notorious. Old Bandit’s treasure and the romance of Spanish California are inextricably woven into a grand scheme of duplicity and intrigue where powerful factions are pitted against each other in the deadliest game of all. With the help of his childhood friend, Lee Jonas, and the beautiful and mysterious Juliette Darcy, Max must uncover a vast puzzle, sorting out the realities of an old California legend from the illusory landscape of modern LA. As is often the case in the City of Angels, nothing is what it appears to be. And everything is up for grabs.

Basichis is the author of another Minstrel’s Alley book, The Guys Who Spied for China, which was a quarter finalist in Amazon’s Breakthrough Novel Awards last year.

The Blood Orange is available as an ebook and will be available as a trade paperback in late June.
