Publishing Announcement: Release Date for The Color Red

THE COLOR RED by A.M. Potter, the first novel in a detective/mystery series set in contemporary New England, will be released by Stark House Press on MARCH 20, 2023.

The Color Red brings the twisted Balkans to Boston and Cape Cod. A Slovenian-born billionaire and his second wife are found dead, hanging side-by-side at their pool. Some say the man was giving away his fortune; others say he was once an oligarch. Who’s the killer? Old Soviet operatives? His butler, his son? His first wife or Balkan relatives? Detective Ivy Bourque and her team encounter many suspects, but none of them have a motive. Why would someone kill a benevolent rich man without an apparent enemy in the world?
