In a TV reality show where contestants are required to carry out a killing, how would a real convicted murderer who has already lost everything in his life, act?

 

What happens when America abandons capital punishment and uses a reality television show to decide the fate of murderers?

(MMD Newswire) January 12, 2008 -- In a highly plausible setting where TV reaches the pinnacle of horrifying vulgarity Bruce Winter answers this question and more with his original twist on a murder mystery thriller in The Fourth Ace.

Starting approaching media as a photojournalist, Winter thought about a possible future for entertainment. "I had the idea of convicted killers being eliminated on reality T.V. – says the author – a concept that might evolve in the future as program ideas dry up and viewers demand the ultimate in macabre 'entertainment'".

The Fourth Ace is a distinctive literary thriller with a twist and turn around every corner which will have you on the edge of your seat until the very last moment. Convicted killer Henry Pilling is serving a life sentence for murder when he is balloted to take part in a reality show 'The Fourth Ace' where he can once again become a killer or this time the victim.

Winter delves into the consequences of Henry's actions, from his conviction to his decisions on the show. There are few thrillers that have such an original insight into the minds of criminals. Each character has been cleverly written in order for you to empathise even with those convicted of murder.

Acting as his debut into the literary world, Winter successfully combines what could have potentially been a standard "whodunit" with threads of romance and betrayal. This unique combination of genres acts almost like a cross between acclaimed authors such as Patricia Cornwall and Jodi Picoult. There is certainly something for everyone.

Set in modern day America, Winter creates a new world where consequences are extreme. The hidden moralistic nature of the book reveals new and unique depths to murder mystery writing. Winter has taken quite a ruthless approach to the tale in order to shock to the very core.
