    This white-knuckle chase crosses three decades and as many continents, a wild ride rife with countless twists and surprises at every turn, all wrapped up in the sexy world of fast cars, smart women, and high-stakes capers. 
    “Power-packed! Glenn A. Bruce is the only writer I know that can make dirt track racing into a page-turner heist story reminiscent of The Sting!” ~ Ty Spencer Vossler, Author of “Deep Mud” 
    Johnny, a mysterious biracial man, and his Asian-American female friend visit a Virginia dirt track—as out of place as their fancy BMW out in the parking lot—but they aren’t there for the “redneck racing.” They’ve come to scout young driver Tony Trivette. 
    Johnny then spins a twisted tale of war, smuggling, and treachery around conman Danny duBois, who vanished decades ago with everyone’s drug money. Johnny has a plan to recover it, but... add a racist Southern sheriff, a Black accomplice framed for murder, a Vietnamese bride left for dead, and the Drill Sergeant from Hell, and someone will likely die—if Johnny’s crazy plan works at all. 
    By the end, no one trusts anyone—with good reason—and the entire mission may not even be as promised. What is the mystery waiting across the finish line? And what moral lines will they all have to cross just to play this game? Who will live? Who will die? Is anyone even who they say they are? This is the nature of a complex heist, executed under a veil of revenge, greed, and murder. 
    “Put on your seatbelt. This is a wild-ass ride!” ~ Jim Hamilton, Author of “The Last Entry” 
    EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a Crime Thriller / Hard-Boiled Mystery sure to keep you frantically listening to chapter after chapter.

    " 
    Richard is a middle-aged Englishman who runs a B&B in the Vallée de Follet. Nothing ever happens to Richard, and really that’s the way he likes it. 
    Until scandal erupts in the nearby town of Saint-Sauver when its famous restaurant is downgraded from three ‘Michelin’ stars to two. The restaurant is shamed, the town is in shock and the leading goat’s cheese supplier drowns himself in one of his own pasteurisation tanks. Or does he? 
    Valérie d’Orçay, who staying at the B&B while house-hunting in the area, isn’t convinced that it’s a suicide. Despite his misgivings, Richard is drawn into Valérie’s investigation, and finds himself becoming a major player. 
     Praise for Death and Croissants:‘A very funny page-turner. Fantastique!’ Adam Kay, Comedian and author of This is Going to Hurt'A writer of immense wit and charm.' Paul Sinha, ITV's The Chase 
    'Death and Croissants is a far funnier book than a story about a bloody murder has any right to be.' Josh Widdicombe, BBC's Mock the Week 
    'This is like two great books in one, a tricksy whodunnit, and a really, really funny story.' Jason Manford 
    'Ian is one of my favourite writers; this is hilarious and a great mystery too.' Janey Godley 
    'Good food and a laugh-out-loud mystery. What more could anyone want in these dark times?” Mark Billingham 
    ‘Death and Croissants is such a relentless rollercoaster ride of laughs and twists, it should come with a height restriction and health warning.’ Matt Forde 
    ‘Sharp, slick and surprising – like the author himself – Death and Croissants is the Loire Valley’s answer to Murder on the Orient Express. I’d marry him tomorrow (Richard, the protagonist; Ian too).' Cally Beaton 
    ‘Though I disagree with the opinions on muesli and the hen naming system that are in this book, I will let those pass and say that it is funny, pacy and very entertaining! It also has short chapters – I find many modern novels take far too long to get to the next chapter, but there's no hanging about here.’ Robin Ince 
    'I’d never connected the words “death” and “croissants” before, but now they’re inextricably linked. It’s a rollicking qui-dunnit with as many twists as the Loire itself'. Stephen Clarke, author of 1000 Years of Annoying the French 
    'Moore's French whodunnit is an engaging caper through the Loire Valley with an expat reluctant hero mixed up with a Maigret-like rural cast, a glamorous heroine and a couple of Mafia killers. It is finely paced, truly funny and written with a wry detachment that conjures up a gentler age of murder mystery.' Charles Bremner 
    ‘Just like the Loire’s other great export, Sancerre, Ian Moore’s prose is reassuringly dry, beautifully constructed, and deeply satisfying. The Follet Valley series is a pleasure you’ll return to again and again.’ Marty Wilson, former Australian Comic of the Year
