After over a year of waiting, at long last, the fifth in the BLACK series makes its way into bookstores. Or at least Amazon, for now.
In this latest opus, we find our hero broke, beat, and with Xmas only days away, scrambling for some holiday cheer. When he gets a call to investigate a grisly murder at a big box store in suburban hell, it sounds like easy money and the solution to his short term problems.
As with all BLACK novels, nothing’s ever that easy.
This installment differs from earlier efforts in that it’s more of a locked room mystery, where Black must unmask a vicious killer in a compressed time frame with little cooperation and even fewer clues. Add a portly feline gone missing and an ever-truculent Roxie, and you have the worst 12 hours in our hero’s life.
For a live audio interview with yours truly about BLACK In The Box, try this brand new one from Stephen Campbell!
Here’s the cover. At the giveaway price of only $4.99, makes the perfect holiday gift. Including Halloween, Thanksgiving, Xmas, or Hanukkah. Hint, hint.
Hey Russell, Congrats on your new book!
I want to make a formal invitation for you to come and join me and other indie authors at http://indiepubclub.com

Please have a look around, and stop in and share some more of that tough love you’re famous for! It will be most welcomed there, I promise.
Again, congrats on the new book!
Hi, I love this series and am so glad to see another instalment. Just wondering if there are plans for RC Bray to narrate again?
Thanks for any info
Cathy
Be safe, Russel.
This hurricane looks vicious.
Missing me by 400 miles!
Will this be available in audible
TBD.
Any update on an audiobook version?
Nothing yet. Sorry.
Any update on an Audible version of this book?
Alas, the royalty scheme was changed so it’s no longer financially viable to produce these.
I must hear this book narrated by R.C. Bray!!! He IS Black. Why the hold up?
Any chance it’ll come to the iBooks store? I already have the 4 books on the Black series.
It was in the ibooks store for a year. I made it exclusive to Amazon for 90 days.
Any news on the audiobook version?
Alas, I won’t be doing any more audiobooks due to Amazon’s revised royalty scheme, which makes it no longer financially attractive. Too bad, as I love the narrator. A class act who nailed the characters.
Well that really stinks. I just finished the 4-pack as read by R. C. Bray and would love to hear more. Hopefully things change in the future to make it worth your while.
Me too!
Really really really hoping this series continues. Love this character, cant wait to see what he’s been up to the last 3 long years.
Another reader despaerate for another Black update. Any news??? Pleeeaaaassseee????
Perhaps next year.
I love this series and finished the audiobooks with in a week I would bet. Do you have any idea when this book or IF this book will also be available on audiobook?
No plans at this time to do an audiobook due to royalty schemes making it financially untenable. Sorry.
Where’s the Audible version for Black in the Box?
Just made it to black in the box… sad there is no audiobook, hate its no longer an option due to royalty challenges. I will read it, and I’m sure I’ll love it… but I won’t like it.
You and me both.
