The Heat of Havana Trailer

Hello there!

I am super-excited to announce that my new book, the 3rd in the Jussi Alonen Detective Adventure series, will be out in a little over two weeks time!

Here is the cover reveal:

The Heat of Havana

Here is the synopsis of the new novel:

The Heat of Havana finds Detective Jussi Alonen settled down in Rauma once again. However, little does he know that a thrilling new adventure awaits him, one which will not only connect him with an old flame but also result in his involvement with international crime once again. 


Smuggling high-quality Cuban cigars to wealthy Eastern Europeans is a lucrative business. However, when a problem arises, Jussi’s old friend Heli finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time and he unexpectedly finds himself in Havana. 


Can he save her and return to his life as a detective in Finland? This Nordic Noir mystery gradually evolves into high-octane action as Jussi’s new nemesis follows him from Cuba to Finland, with both bent on revenge, in this gripping new story. 


Cigars, mojitos and rumba turn into kidnapping, smuggling and murder, immersing Jussi in his most exciting adventure yet!


I have had a lot of fun writing this book. You might say it is a little less noir and a little more action - think Bourne and Bond - rather than Morse and Wallander. It's probably no surprise that this story finds Jussi in more trouble than ever before. This time he is in Cuba and far away from Rauma - until trouble returns to find him in Finland!

I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I have enjoyed writing it!
