* Mackay Barr releases The Lady in the Red Dress, a new psychological thriller that, at its core, explores how far a broken man will go to save someone he doesn't know-in a world where trust is dangerous and silence is deadly.

In The Lady in the Red Dress, Mackay Barr introduces readers to ex-soldier Marion Gamble. Returning to civilian life, he is haunted by a troubling past, and the last thing he expects is to be drawn into a case involving an overdosed prostitute. As the dark underworld of human trafficking unravels, Marion finds himself in a race against time-fighting a sadistic killer, traffickers, and ruthless hitmen, all determined to keep their secrets buried. With a blend of graphic imagery and well-researched psychological trauma, the book is tailored for readers who enjoy immersing themselves in the dark corners of human existence.

Mackay Barr is a first-time novelist with a passion for gritty, character-driven thrillers. Drawing from real-life experience and in-depth research into psychological trauma, Mackay creates protagonists who are tough, flawed, and relentlessly human.

"Marion Gamble is a character that stays with you after you've finished reading. Five glowing stars!"?- ARC reader B. Carter
