Synopsis - First Trilogy (Books 1, 2 & 3)

Born in the worst suburb in Pittsburgh, Elaine Brogan is bright, beautiful and bold. When her father is falsely arrested for passing counterfeit $100 bills, Elaine vows to become a Secret Service agent and track down the man responsible. After barely surviving the arduous Secret Service Training Academy in Laurel, Maryland, she is transferred to bleak and blustery Great Falls, Montana. But things do not go as planned, and Elaine soon finds herself betrayed and thrown into an adventure that takes her halfway around the world, from dark and mysterious Sofia, Bulgaria, to Moscow Russia, and finally, to Milan, Italy. In the end, will Elaine find the love and happiness she truly seeks…or will she turn to a life of obscene wealth, power and corruption?

Here is the synopsis:

When Giorgio Cattoretti enlists the help of Elaine Brogan to track down the international serial killer he unknowingly let loose on the world, Elaine reluctantly agrees.  She believes that the deranged murderer knows the location of The Factory, the illegal passport production facility that she’s been after for months.  When Elaine and Luna Faye ask to be put in charge of the case, they’re forced to cooperate with a team of competing foreign crime specialists who, above all else, must not learn the killer’s true identity.  Elaine’s relentless pursuit takes her from Lyon, France, to Kiev, Ukraine, to Budapest, Hungary, to Dubai, UAE, and finally, to Barcelona, Spain.

Join Elaine, Luna and The Cat on another fast-paced, high-stakes Lust, Money & Murder adventure!

Important Info for Lust, Money & Murder Readers

I wanted to give all my Lust, Money & Murder readers a heads up, particularly those of you who may be in the middle of the series.

If you have read many of these books, you already know that they are written in trilogies.  I've now repackaged them to better reflect this, naming each trilogy after the part of the world where the significant action takes place.  I also have new cover designs, as you can see.

Why did I do this? you may not wonder at all. Although it's always best (IMO) for readers to start with the first book in a long series like LM&M, this arrangement gives readers many more entry points.  It also makes it clear that the LM&M books can be read in more "bite-sized" chunks.  Having a new, more colorful cover for each new book also helps visibility on the retail sites.

My series download page has been similarly redone so you can easily navigate around the trilogies - http://mikewellsblog.blogspot.com/p/lust-money-murder-download-links.html

Not one word of actual content has been changed.  I hope you enjoy the books!

Criminal mastermind Giorgio Cattoretti is back, and in rare form.

The Lust, Money & Murder Japanese Trilogy features the usual cast of captivating characters—Elaine Brogan, Luna Faye, Nick LaGrange, Dmitry, Tony, and of course the notorious Cattoretti—so prepare yourself for another wild, ‘unputdownable’ adventure.

The 13th book in the Lust, Money & Murder Series will be released on Thursday, January 31st and is available for pre-order on Amazon, Apple Books, Nook, Google Play, Kobo....AND the new Mike Wells Discount Bookstore (more about that below).  This latest LM&M book was particularly hard to write because our new baby (Sophia Wells) came into the world in the middle of writing it.  Hopefully #14 and #15 will move along faster (she's fine, another joy to behold!)  All I can say about this new book: be prepared for a wild adventure, this time in Japan. Elaine and The Cat butt heads, as usual!

Is it Against the Law to Have Your Fingerprints Surgically Altered?

The correct answer is b) No, unless you do it to avoid being convicted of a crime.

There's nothing inherently illegal about modifying your fingerprints (yet) except in the case above, in which both you and anyone who helps you (including the surgeon) can go to jail. This has happened before and is a particular problem among migrants who want to cross borders illegally.  However, at present, there are no doctors who have perfected this surgical procedure to the point that it leaves no scars and is undetectable by experts....or are there?

This issue plays a significant role in the latest Lust, Money & Murder thriller, Book #13 - Face-Off.
