Army of One: Introducing Joe Beck
Alastair Brown
Alastair Brown’s debut novel, introducing Joe Beck – America’s Unlicensed Private Detective.Ex-cop Joe Beck is a private eye, but not the typical type. He’s unlicensed. His office is his cell phone. And his methods are outwith the law. Not one to shy away from a fist fight, he doesn’t often take liberties and he never takes prisoners.He’s in McAllen, Texas, for the funeral of an old friend who, he heard, took his own life. He bumps into a beautiful escort named Sapphire and makes plans to spend the night with her…that is, before they’re abducted at gun point and bundled into the back of a black SUV by three men they’ve never seen before. Three men who know a whole lot more about Joe Beck’s dead friend than they ought to.What do they know? What will happen? And how will Joe Beck react?

Alastair Brown
Alastair Brown is a crime-thriller writer who authors books featuring lead protagonist Joe Beck.He was born and raised in Bellshill, Scotland, a small town on the outskirts of Glasgow, where he spent a bit of time as a marketer making adverts for a living. However, it’s storytelling and writing that’s his real forte. He writes occasionally and for only one thing: entertainment. And when he’s not writing, he’s imagining – he’s thinking up his next plot, visualizing the characters and the scenarios and picturing exactly how Joe Beck would react when faced with the next few conventional and unconventional situations he’ll be thrown into.A bit like Joe Beck, he practically runs on caffeine, drinking anything from five to ten cups of coffee a day. Sometimes, it’s more, but it’s never less. And he appreciates good old classic rock music and fast, powerful American muscle cars.
