Two Bullets in a Bayou: An Erica Banks Suspense Thriller

By Bill Black

"Already Optioned For TV "

Legendary female assassin Erica Banks is back in New Orleans in a wildly gripping thriller. The World Series has been rigged using Artificial Intelligence, but the shocking secrets from the past behind the crime run far deeper.

Suspense builds at breakneck speed as Erica's murder count increases. The local cops and the FBI are relentlessly on her trail. And a team of dedicated amateur sleuths, who know something is not right, have trapped her in their deadly game of cat and mouse.

Now, her perfectly planned escape is in front of her until everything twists disastrously apart in a terrifying chain of events. With Coast Guard bullets whizzing around her small boat as she flees into the Gulf, Erica faces the decision of her life. If she surrenders to the authorities, that means a dismal prison cell forever as punishment for her crimes. At best.

But jumping into the shark-infested waters around her and making a swim for it seems idiotically stupid and risky. It should be an easy choice. Or is it?

If you enjoyed watching thrillers like The Talented Mr. Ripley or Michael Clayton, or are a fan of anything by Tana French, you won't want to miss the unputdownable Two Bullets In A Bayou. Settle in for the fast-paced ride.

As Kirkus Reviews says of it: "A colorful suspense novel with deep New Orleans roots and an intriguing cast of characters."
