THE SWITCHBLADE SVENGALI<\/a> by Coy Hall is coming out this month.\u00a0 It’s the second Royce Pembrook thriller.\u00a0 The first, A S\u00c9ANCE FOR WICKED KING DEATH<\/a> received my highest recommendation<\/a>.\u00a0 That makes THE SWITCHBLADE SVENGALI an immediate purchase.\u00a0 Here’s the lowdown…<\/p>\n

\n

When the bell tolls midnight, it’ll be 1968.Royce Pembrook is living well in a new city, with new patrons, a new name, and a new trade. But he’s the same scam artist he’s been for thirty years. Since youth, Royce has made his money and found trouble in fraudulent s\u00e9ances that prey on the grieving widows of high society.<\/p>\n

Now he’s expanded his con, posing as a hypnotist, a Svengali, swindling everyone in Phoenix from scions of old wealth to a UFO cult led by a heroin-addicted visionary.\u00a0 Life is good. Royce has the luxury he craves.<\/p>\n

And that’s when trouble out of the past creeps into his world. Even in the domain of fake spirits, the relentless specter of murder is real, and Royce’s former life is one thing that won’t stay in the grave. When the bell tolls midnight for Royce Pembrook, will it be time to abscond? Or will he fight to keep all that he’s gained, no matter the violent cost to those around him?<\/p>\n
