FROM THE ESSENTIAL RAYMOND BENSON COLLECTION

WINNER OF THE 2006 "BEST THRILLER" AWARD AT THE LOVE IS MURDER CONFERENCE FOR AUTHORS AND READERS!

From the internationally-acclaimed former author of continuation James Bond novels and other works of suspense comes a new and exciting thriller.

Diane Boston lives with her Marfan syndrome-afflicted 13-year-old son in a suburb of Chicago and teaches social studies at the high school, with the students even voting her Teacher of the Year. But she has some dark secrets. Her ex-husband Greg always suspected that Diane kept things from him, but he has no idea just how right he is. When Diane's son, David, finds a box of unmarked videotapes and watches one of them out of curiosity, he discovers that it's a hardcore adult movie from the late 1970s. The star, Lucy Luv, was an actress that mysteriously disappeared in 1980. Some suspected she'd been murdered. David recognizes the actress as his mother. Then, somehow, the news of Diane's involvement in the adult film business hits the streets and causes chaos at her school and at home. It also attracts the attention of the West Coast porn czar who has ties with organized crime. Apparently when Lucy Luv disappeared, she took a cache of stolen diamonds with her. This is the catalyst for a non-stop roller-coaster ride of suspense and mystery that involves the dark side of the adult film industry, the mob, kidnapping, and murder.

OTHER BOOKS BY RAYMOND

Torment


From internationally-published author Raymond Benson comes a unique supernatural thriller, a story of voodoo, murder, love, and obsession—but wait! Is it really supernatural, or is it all in the protagonist’s troubled mind?


The James Bond Bedside Companion


New revised digital edition of the classic 007 reference book from the 1980s, complete with a new Foreword by the author.

THE JAMES BOND BEDSIDE COMPANION is an encyclopedic celebration of 007, who is still the world’s most popular secret agent.


Evil Hours

PRAISE FOR SWEETIE'S

"A pulse-pounding edge-of-your-seat thriller with more twists and turns than a roller coaster." - Parnell Hall, author of Stalking the Puzzle Lady

"Plays out like a Hitchcock film. These Diamonds are priceless!"--J. A. Konrath, author of BLOODY MARY

"Benson… proves here that he is equally adept at more realistic thrillers. This ever-more-intricate story may remind some readers of the novels of James Grippando… The relationship between David and his mother, Diane , is key to the drama, and Benson layers enough twists and turns to keep mother and son, not to mention the reader, searching desperately for the truth." – Booklist

"Sweetie's Diamonds is a gem!"--Chicago Sun-Times

"A gem of a thriller one would have expected to come from the pen of someone like James Patterson."--The Strand Magazine
