Cole Shoot — Micheal Maxwell

Once again, Cole Sage wanders into foreign territory. The world of the Tongs and San Francisco street gangs is indeed foreign turf. Seeking answers that will bring justice for the murder of his friend, Cole unknowingly endangers the life of his intern and protégé. Believing the aphorism that "it is never a good idea to bring a knife to a gun fight", Cole enlists the help of gang members to bring truth and justice to the streets of his newly adopted city. This strategy brings conflict and turmoil to Cole's soul but seems the best solution for the challenges being faced. Interview with the Author Q: So, our friend Cole Sage is back! A: Yes he is, and as usual, he finds himself in a bit of a jam. Q: Without giving anything way, what's Cole up to this time? A: He tangles with a street gang. A peaceful day out for Cole and Kelly is shattered by gang violence and, sadly, it hits close to home. Q: What makes this book, #5, in the series different? A: The fun thing about Cole Shoot is we're re-visited by some old friends from previous books. This book is kind of a “rite of passage” for Cole. He takes a long, hard look at the future, career, and his relationship with Kelly Mitchell. We also meet California Corwin, a female detective that D. D. Vandyke has spun off into a whole new series. Q: A serving of romance with our mystery and suspense? A: What is life without a little romantic suspense to spice things up? Q: For people who haven't read the previous Cole Sage Mysteries, can they read Cole Shoot and not get lost? A: Of course, all the books stand alone. But if anyone hasn't read Diamonds and Cole, it is available free for their Kindle. I hope everyone grabs a copy. It's always nice to see where the hero of a series came from. Q: So what's next for Mr. Sage? A: Diamonds and Cole has now been downloaded over 200,000 times. It is repeatedly in the Top Ten of Private Investigator books! Thank you all very, very much! The next book Cole Fire is well on its way and is a lot longer than I imagined it to be. A BIG surprise is coming in that one! Q: So what would you like to say to your fans? A: I hope this new volume in the Cole Sage saga takes care of their Cole fix! I would really like to thank everyone who has left reviews of my books. The people who love Cole Sage are the best advertising I can get. Reviews are vitally important for independent authors, as stars and number of reviews are the first thing people look for when choosing a new book. So, don't forget your reviews matter, they keep Cole coming back. Q: I love the cover of Cole Shoot. Good luck on Cole Fire. When can we look for that one to come out? A: In the future! lol
