DESCRIPTIONS:
FIFTH AVENUE:
Look beneath all the power and all the wealth that represents New York City’s Fifth Avenue, and you’ll find greed, blood, revenge. In the international best-selling thriller “Fifth Avenue,” each intermingles within a revered society that is unprepared for what’s in store for it when one man finally strikes in an effort to destroy another man for murdering his wife thirty-one years ago.
Louis Ryan is that man. George Redman, his wife, two daughters and their close friends are his targets. Both men are self-made billionaires who came from nothing to stake their claim to Fifth Avenue. But when Louis Ryan hires an international assassin to literally rip the Redman family apart, a series of events that can’t be stopped catapults them all through a fast-paced, hard-edged thriller in which nobody is safe.
Secrets are revealed. Sex lives are exposed. The Mafia get involved. And George’s two daughters, Celina and Leana Redman, come to the forefront. More than anyone, it’s they who are caught in the throes of their father’s past as Louis Ryan’s blind desire to kill them all takes surprising turns in his all-out effort to see them dead.
RUNNING OF THE BULLS:
TWELVE PEOPLE TARGETED FOR DEATH…
Five years ago, each person sold out to the SEC and took the stand against Maxmilian Wolfhagen, a man who robbed the world of billions. Now, with Wolfhagen out of prison, each is dying a grisly death.
TWO ASSASSINS WITH ONLY 48 HOURS TO CUT A SWATH OF MURDER AND REVENGE THROUGH NEW YORK…
Time is tight and the challenges are massive–but so are their ruthless skills.
MARTY SPELLMAN IS ON THE CASE…
Hired to investigate Wolfhagen, private investigator Marty Spellman soon learns that all isn’t what it seems as the twists pile up along with sheer number of the dead. His life is put on the line. His family is threatened. No one is who they appear to be. Who can he trust as the bulls of Wall Street start to run as the two assassins fully ignite their killing spree?
FROM MANHATTAN WITH LOVE:
An outcast billionaire’s daughter is caught at the wrong place at the wrong time.
An international assassin questions her sanity when she falls in love with the very assassin she’s charged to assassinate.
What happens when each collide? Chaos. Murder. Love. Revenge.
And redemption.
In this taut, 35,000-word novella, which is a prequel to the upcoming third novel in the Fifth Avenue series, “Park Avenue,” both women come together for the first time in an explosive story that threatens each of their lives, particularly when one woman breaks her own rules and dares to fall in love.
In “From Manhattan with Love,” she soon learns what she always feared. When it comes to real danger, there’s nothing more dangerous than love itself.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy it.

Winner Announced: The Kindle Fire!
So, this is it! I’ve been running this promotion for awhile and it’s time to end it with a winner, who I’ve chosen randomly through the help of random.org. It’s the fairest, most unbiased way to do it. You type in the number of people who entered, whose names I have in a spreadsheet, and whatever number that comes up associated with that name wins. That simple.
It’s been a great year. Many of you have supported me from the start with “Fifth Avenue” straight on up through to “Running of the Bulls,” “The Bullied Series” and currently with “From Manhattan with Love,” which as of today, is thisclose to hitting the Top 100.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your letters to me, your enthusiasm and your patience. “Park Avenue” is coming. Leana is in one ridiculous mess. I can’t wait for you to meet Pepper Redman, who I think you’ll love to hate. Spocatti and Carmen are back. So is Mario, Michael and George. And Marty and Jennifer. And then there’s the story itself, which blows up the Redman family in more ways than one. I’m making sure it’s the best book it can be before I release it to all of you. It can’t disappoint.
And other books are coming. When I get stuck on “Park Avenue,” I turn to “A Rush to Violence,” so there’s no pause in writing. I’m really digging that book, which is half finished, as “Park Avenue” is. It’s probably the most intense book I’ve written.
So, who won the Kindle Fire? Find out below!

Park Avenue: The First Chapter
Park Avenue, the sequel to Running of the Bulls and Fifth Avenue, is still being written. I hope to have it finished early in 2012. Until then, I’m giving you a sneak peak at the book with an excerpt from it. Some of this will likely change, but it gives you an idea of where I’m taking the book. This is the first chapter. The Redmans enter the book in Chapter Three. –Chris
PARK AVENUE
A novel by:
Christopher Smith
Chapter One
August
Bemused to be here again, Vincent Spocatti stepped out of the limousine, cut through the crowds on Fifth Avenue and moved into the absolute quiet of the Manhattan Enterprises Building. It had been two years since he’d been in this building and he hadn’t missed any of it.
He moved across the lobby, held up an ID for the guard sitting at the front desk and was asked to move to the hallway at his left. Spocatti did so and approached a private elevator, whose door opened for him when he neared it.
Fancy, he thought. (more…)
