GRANADA GAMBLE
by Greg Knowles & Mel Knowles
Greg Knowles and his brother, Mel, have co-authored a novel titled GRANADA GAMBLE. It’s an adventure stuffed to the gills with humor, mayhem and fish. (Think: Carl Hiaasen, Dave Barry and Ben Rehder in the same boat.) While the sport of fishing is a key part of the story, the non-fish action hooks fiction aficionados and won’t let go. CIA freelancer and top bass fishing pro Ric Bedderman arrives in Granada, Illinois, for a big-money pro-am tournament. While there, the Feds have asked him to prevent Granada’s rotund mayor from opening a long-abandoned coal mine that contains much more than coal. When he’s not catching fish or romancing a gorgeous TV producer, Ric teams with a shadowy associate who helps him sort out despicable politicians, a hard-nosed cop, a womanizing Indian casino lobbyist, coke heads, hit men, and a string of uncommonly bizarre small-town misfits who are recklessly determined to royally screw up his fishing and his mission. Granada Gamble is available for a mere $3.99 on Amazon or Smashwords. For more information, go to greg@btrtms.com
