Bestselling author Eric Madeen has announced that his latest novel, 'Massage World,' will be available as a free ebook on August 19 and 20. The book can be downloaded at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Eric-Madeen/author/B08VGRNJVW? during this promotional period.
'Massage World' is a multicultural thriller that examines both sides of the massage industry. The story follows Ingrid Swanson, an ambitious therapist who opens a grand health spa called Massage World, defying local underworld kingpin Jack Cobb. Cobb, a ruthless massage parlor lord, attempts to seize control of Ingrid's business through illicit 'massage wars,' aided by a crooked undercover vice cop. The conflict escalates into a media frenzy after a police raid, sparking neighborhood protests and involving a fearless female biker gang.
The novel has received significant praise from literary figures. Larry McCaffery, author of 'Some Other Frequency: Interviews with Innovative American Authors' and former Professor of English and Comparative Literature at SDSU, described it as 'earthquaking powerful and fresh.' William Luvaas, winner of a Huffington Post Book of the Year award, called it 'a sizzler of a thriller bursting with eccentric energy.' Harold Jaffe, Professor Emeritus of Creative Writing and Literature at San Diego State University, noted its 'canny and calculated construction' and 'high-octane' narrative.
Madeen's other works include 'Asian Trail Mix: True Tales from Borneo to Japan,' a collection of travel essays; 'Water Drumming In The Soul,' a novel set in equatorial Africa; 'Tokyo-ing!,' a trio of tales about Tokyo; and 'Tennis Clubbed, Snubbed and Rubbity-Dub Dubbed,' a story set in Yokohama. These books are also available at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Eric-Madeen/author/B08VGRNJVW?.
