The long wait is over!

The U.S. edition of my seventh novel, SPILLED BLOOD, is officially available all across the country. So head to your local bookstore, or buy it now at BN.com or Amazon. Or put it on your Nook or Kindle.

Here's what #1 bestselling crime fiction author Lisa Gardner has to say about the new book: "SPILLED BLOOD is everything a great suspense novel should be: gripping, shocking, and moving. Brian Freeman proves once again he's a master of psychological suspense, as he layers one family's crisis with an entire town's drama, building to an epic crescendo of rage, revenge and redemption."

I also have events scheduled around the country in May, including visits to Dallas, Houston, Vero Beach, Portland, Seattle, Dayton, Denver, and Phoenix -- as well as the Twin Cities and Duluth-Superior areas. Full details of my entire tour are available on the events page of my web site. I hope you can join me if I'll be in your area! If for any reason you can't make it, remember that you can always order signed, personally inscribed copies through the stores.

SPILLED BLOOD takes you to a remote part of southwestern Minnesota, amid dirt roads and ghost towns. Here's what you can expect from this latest thriller:

Two teenage girls play a deadly game of Russian Roulette...

It's every parent's worst nightmare. Christopher Hawk's daughter has been accused of murder . . . and she looks guilty as sin. Chris rushes to the rural lands of southern Minnesota, where his ex-wife and his only child, Olivia, now live, determined to defend his daughter.

He discovers two towns at war: Barron, where a chemical company has brought jobs and money, and St. Croix, Olivia's downriver home, where the same chemicals are believed to have brought death: a cancer cluster with mysterious origins. Olivia is at the center of the feud, and so is the girl she's suspected of killing. If Chris is to find out what really happened, he needs to learn everything about his daughter... but he's beginning to realize he hardly knows her at all.

Chris wants to believe Olivia is innocent, but belief is only the first step. Now he has to prove it. And all the while, her enemies are waiting, baying for her blood...

This book will again bring you relentless twists and turns and intense emotional suspense. It's among my very favorite books, and it's a beautiful edition, with a truly extraordinary cover. I hope you will add SPILLED BLOOD to your bookshelves today! Naturally, you can also find my earlier books for yourself or for friends, including THE BONE HOUSE, THE BURYING PLACE, IN THE DARK, STALKED, STRIPPED, and IMMORAL.

Oh, and never fear, the new Jonathan Stride novel will be available in 2013!

My seventh novel, SPILLED BLOOD, will be available in the U.S. on May 1!

I'll be doing one of my most wide-ranging tours in several years in May to support the release of the new book. This includes cities and bookstores I've visited in the past -- but not in many years -- as well as new venues around the country.

I can't always get to far-flung areas of the country as often as I'd like, so I hope you'll put my event on your calendar if I'll be in your area. Be sure to stop by for the Q&A and get a book signed. If you can't make it in person, most of the stores I'll be visiting will happily take pre-orders, so you can still get a personalized copy.

See you soon!
