Now in Print & eBook: "Lead Poisoning" by New Hampshire Author J.E. Seymour

Vancouver, WA, July 31, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Barking Rain Press, a non-profit fiction publisher, announced the paperback and eBook release of the noir thriller “Lead Poisoning” by New Hampshire author J.E. Seymour. “Lead Poisoning” is the first book in the "Kevin Markinson" series. The second book, “Stress Fractures” will be published in August 2014, and a third book, “Frostbite,” is also planned.

Mob “troubleshooter” Kevin Markinson would like to retire from his profession and join his family in New Hampshire — but some jobs are hard to leave behind. A former Marine sniper who is also a fugitive for a crime he didn’t commit, Kevin soon finds a greater challenge when he returns home and tries to settle down with his wife and two sons… who are little more than strangers. And while his family might not want him back in their lives, his mob bosses can’t seem to do without his services—forcing Kevin to juggle between the
dark world of organized crime, his role as a husband and father, and his need to keep one step ahead of the law. If he can’t, he stands to lose everything — including his freedom.
