Shillelagh ?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shillelagh_(club). Just for an ethnic feel or connection.
If it had a shotgun cartridge hidden in the heavy end, so it would fire when hitting someone ?
I know one American Ganster has a cartridge build In to a glove, so when he punched someone, they'd get shot as well. ?
I find the idea of the shillelagh/gun combo intriguing & suitably dark to warrant inclusion somewhere.

Take a look at the bottom of the 'product details' area on AGAs amazon page (link in the last post).
I'm really pleased that this person enjoyed the book.
I'll be running another free promotion day soon so if anyone here is still interested or missed their chance last time, you will be able to download the book without charge. If you are a Kindle Unlimited subscriber you can download it for free at any time.
It is selling well & actually made the UK & US amazon bestsellers charts at numbers 18 & 19 respectively in the 'free' books section. Although I'm not sure I think this is as a result of interest from KU readers as the book is being read well by them.
Meanwhile I'm just into chapter three of the first draft of Harry Flynn's next adventure. However once written it will be re-written/read at least four times.
Lastly thanks to those here who have supported & encouraged me.
Hi Iguanna. It's available on amazon (link to follow). As said if you're a Kindle Unlimited subscriber you can get it for free at anytime. Failing that you will have the chance to get it for free when I next run the promotion.

It's selling steadily, indeed it has passed all my expectations thus far & is moving paid copies every single day. There are two amazon bestseller charts - one for paid books & the other for free books. As far as I can gather the latter (the one my book featured in) encompasses the Kindle Unlimited community. Subscribers to KU pay a monthly tariff which allows them then to download paid books for free (just so long as the author has joined the programme which allows this to happen). The author then gets paid for each page read by KU members. My sales stats indicate that the book has been downloaded & indeed read on many occasions.
Thanks @Thunderpussy. I haven't seen it yet. I hope you enjoyed the read & if there is anything you would like to perhaps see feature in the next Flynn adventure let me know.
The flight had been delayed so almost an hour & a half behind schedule the DC3 swept into land at La Guardia airport. There was rain in the breeze & the leaden sky forecast more as Flynn & the rest of the passengers disembarked & crossed to the terminal building for the brisk formalities of customs & immigration......................

Hi @Thunderpussy. Yes the book continues to sell quite well. I've only had three amazon reviews thus far but I've had a few emails asking where the next Harry Flynn book can be bought. I've had to explain that I've only just started writing it!
@barryt007. From what you say I think you'll enjoy reading AGA. Just for your information all procedures surrounding Harry Flynn are accurate & as taught to WW2 British agents. I don't want to spoil things but the techniques of torture utilised by the Nazis which are described in the book are also what were employed by them.
Yes AGA is the first book of the series - all set in WW2 with each following on directly from the last. As I already mentioned I'm in the process of writing book two which sees Flynn go up against the New York Irish mob. The details surrounding that particular mission have their roots in fact. The outline plot for the third book is already written but after that I'm not sure if Flynn will have another outing. I suppose it all depends if the series proves popular enough to warrant it.
Well it's not formal enough. It's an abbreviation and therefore frowned upon.
That's what I learned studying History and English at university anyhow.
@Dragonpol - there would have been no problem had you PM'd me. As I said it became second nature for me to substitute & for and throughout my working life. It has become so ingrained that I wrote a whole novel without reverting back to proper usage!
@PropertyOfALady there is indeed a difference between the use of and (and) & in written English. The latter not being acceptable in some circles. I don't think the free version will update - I'm not too sure paid copies will either - but you can always download it again on the next free day. From my perspective the use of and plus a little tidying up here and there has made the book read better. BTW I take it you have read the thing already, if so what did you think?
I also edited the blurb to reflect this. Having just looked at another post I made today I see I have used & again! It will be a hard habit to break!
so it is fitting. Once again it's a terrific story @Stag.
