ED EARL BURCH UPDATE — Been a long, frustrating year for your ol’ pal, Honest Jim, friend of the hard-boiled crime fiction devotee, but there’s movement afoot on the next crime thriller featuring your favorite whisky-cured badass. I’ve set a 2/9/2026 release date for THE FATAL SAVING GRACE, and as soon as we can get some kind of electronic snarl at Ingram/Spark straightened out, both the e-book and paperback will be available for pre-release purchase. Stay tuned for further updates. You’ve got the hard-boiled jitters, Honest Jim’s got the cure. Meanwhile, pick up a copy of the first four Ed Earl’s at https://www.amazon.com/author/jimnesbitt
