Roger is drawn into the fray when his sister, Penelope is brutally raped by her taxi driver whilst travelling home from Paddington Station. The rapist has an uncanny way of keeping a step ahead of the police and is determined to become the most famous serial rapist ever by beating Dan Crosby’s record. He’s even kind enough to document his work in the form of a wall collage in his flat, so that the police will have all the proof necessary. But he will only allow himself to be caught on his terms and when he’s ready. Can Frank and Roger catch him before more innocent victims are scarred for life? As their hunt brings them closer to their prey, neither of them can imagine the horrific truth they are about to discover.

 

I spent nearly four years plotting, outlining and writing my book and during this period I spent a great deal of time thinking about how I could make the reader/author relationship different. Like you I am an avid reader and I just love crime fiction. I enjoy James Patterson, Joseph Finder and Lee Child and have read nearly all their books. When I decided to write the choice of genre was an easy one, it was the finishing of it that was the hardest part.

 

I think I did a good job, but I would wouldn't I?! Don't take my word for it, below are just some of the many reviews and testimonials I've had for "The Habit".

 

Here's what people are saying about

"The Habit"...

 

 

From the very beginning, it was different, straight to the point and no fooling around with unwanted descriptions. I normally figure out the villain in these books long before the middle of the book and hate the sense of waiting for the others in the story to catch up. However, The Habit was different. Loved the ending, looking forward to your next story. James Taylor Chicago

 

I thoroughly enjoyed the book, for me to enjoy a book it is about painting a picture / scene, that makes you feel that you are with the characters looking over their shoulder or being one of them for the turn of each page, and this book did that which isn’t always the case with an author’s first book. The scenes around London and the detail in his description is spot on and the booked was well worked. I would recommend The Habit. Lee Jackson London

 

I was at a literary luncheon where I heard the author speak about his debut novel, "The Habit". He did a good job of selling it to me, so I bought a copy. The first chapter had me gripped and wanting to read on. I like the short chapters, perfect for reading on the tube to and from work. The dialogue is good and very easy to read and the final half of the book just flys. I couldn't put it down. Richard Armour has joined the ranks of great British crime fiction writers and I cannot wait for his next book. Judith Elkington London

 

 

 

So if that's enough to help you decide to buy my book....

 

My mum asked me why I'm even thinking of offering you all this other stuff?

 

Great question really, Mum! I sometimes wonder whether I've lost the plot (excuse the pun!) but then I remember all those other same old, same old books out there and why I want mine to be that little bit special; that little bit different.

 

Great Crime Fiction comes at a price....

 

But here's the best news of all: it also comes with the amazing advantage of my extraordinary offers.

 

This book was many years in the making. Because I love writing so much, it really wasn't that difficult, but it was a huge commitment in time.

 

Once I decided on the story line for my first book, I set about developing the characters and that was a task in itself! I decided on the protaganist being a rapist for a couple of reasons:

I don't know anyone personally who has been affected by rape but if I did, I would find it very difficult not to take the law into my own hands.

 

I chose The City as the background for the story as I had worked there for over 16 years and I wanted to reveal some of the misconceptions and let people know what really goes on in many City dealing rooms.

 

Whilst I was still working in The City I spent my spare hours writing "The Habit" on scrap paper and before I knew it I had scribbled over 100 pages of A4 paper! That was the good bit; then I had to transfer them onto my new laptop. That took me much longer than I'd imagined because I began to notice mistakes and spent endless hours reworking sections and entire chapters.

 

And finally I got it to the point where it was complete and it was published. I knew it was a great book; all the early reviews from editors told me so; but I wanted it to give my readers more than other books...

... and at a Great Price too!

 

So, you now see why my mum thinks I should be selling this resource at a huge premium. She knows how much time and effort went into writing it! As you'll discover when reading the The Author's Note in your copy of The Habit, it was my mother who started me on this long path to becoming an author; she bought me my first typewriter!!

 

But I convinced her that I should try this price as part of a marketing trial. She's still wondering whether I have truly lost my mind! (Love you mum. xx)

 

A book of this kind with the kind of offers I'm including could easily sell for more than £150.00. That's assuming you could even find a book like this anywhere else! In fact I'd say what I'm offering you is priceless!

 

The bottom line is that NOWHERE is there a crime fiction novel as valuable as "The Habit" at any price! And of course as I am using the Internet for this marketing trial, I am able to pass big savings on to my Internet customers (i.e., you) until  only. Depending upon how it affects sales, I may or may not continue the special price after this date.
