Betrayal in Black

Betrayal in Black

Pulled over in America? When you’re white, you might get a ticket. When you’re black, you might end up dead.

In a fictional Michigan town, a man is pulled over by the local police. The driver wonders: “What did I do wrong?” The officer asks for I.D.; the driver casually mentions he legally carries a gun. The officer panics—confusion reigns—shots ring out—an innocent man lays bleeding to death and the incident is captured on video.

The shooting becomes the national headline—the dead man is black—the shooter is white. A community is thrown into chaos. Protestors on both sides of the racial divide take to the streets.

A widow struggles to make sense of senseless tragedy. She turns to high-profile trial lawyer, Zachary Blake. Together, they dare to fight City Hall. Will police lie to protect the status quo?

Small Great Things meets The Hate U Give in Mark M. Bello’s explosive new social justice legal thriller, Betrayal in Black. $0.99 on Kindle.

When M.I.T. graduate, Tom Bishop and his friends decide to take a short vacation in the Shasta–Trinity National Forest region by Mount Shasta, situated in the 1000-mile long Cascade Mountain Range of Northern California, it turns out they aren’t alone…

Four Campers experience the unimaginable…

After a long drive through the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Tom and his three friends set up camp in the closed-for-season, Pine Crags Wilderness Campsite, in the shadows of Mount Shasta.

Having to avoid the U.S. Military now closing down the area, they slowly but surely start making startling discoveries and uncover more clues as to what might be going on.

The scientific community are not only stunned, but are as scared as hell…

Whatever It Takes

Whatever It Takes
DCI Jane Birchfield is facing a series of personal challenges: a rocky relationship with her partner, her mum hardly talks to her; and her boss and mentor is critically ill, which means she is having to cover his post as well as her own. Then she has to take charge of the toughest of murder investigations.

Young Jamie Castleton is found dead, seemingly frozen in position at a computer in a grubby internet cafe in the Manchester suburb of Ashbridge. Enquiries reveal he was a self-employed tech-consultant and a computer expert, so what was he doing in there? His mother is convinced he was up to no good, and the cafe manager is soon under suspicion for trying to hide Jamie’s browser history.

But the more Jane and her increasingly enthusiastic team dig under the surface, the more the evidence points to one of Manchester’s biggest companies, Greaves, and its super-wealthy boss, Graeme Hargreaves. This leads Jane into a sordid underworld, and a surprise twist in the investigation forces her to face up to an event in her own past, that she has kept buried for 25 years.

Slowly, but surely, the net tightens around the suspects, but can she stay objective, and can she keep herself, her team, and her relationship, together, and bring the killer to justice? For Jane it has become a personal crusade, but in this race against time there is far more at stake than she ever imagined. $2.99 on Kindle.
