Produktbeschreibung

Murder Mystery! Detective series! Crime-drama! Homicide Detective Lyle Odell returns in a new adventure, and this time around; Odell uncharacteristically enlists the aid of a beautiful woman and her very unusual crime-fighting companion.

After a period of dormancy, and a trail of unsolved murders over a few years in different locations, a brutal serial killer suddenly reappears and horribly murders and targets combat veterans of war and their family members. This time, the killer's murders are in Homicide Detective Lyle Odell's territory of the gritty and determined old upstate New York City of Mohawk City, and it begins a game of cat and mouse between the brilliant and violent mind of the insane killer and the even more brilliant mind of Detective Lyle Odell. The killer had previously pulled off the perfect crimes and there were no leads, no trails, and no clues, and the killer went uncaptured on the first killing spree a few years earlier. The crimes seemed unsolvable, but this time around, the killer matches wits with Odell on his home turf.

Just when it seems the trail is a dead-end once again, the beautiful and brilliant Ms. Marlin Santini appears on the scene and offers her help to Odell along with her highly trained pet Yucatan pig, Doodlesticks. Doodlesticks can track scents and criminals that escape all other detection. Odell senses an opportunity and his plan will include the incredible scent tracking abilities of Doodlesticks, the talents, intelligence, and beauty of Marlin, and this time around, Detective Lyle Odell realizes that to capture this elusive killer, he cannot do it alone. This time, he requires an elite team.

As they work together, Marlin and Odell grow closer and closer; and it seems as if the forever loner and eccentric Detective Lyle Odell has finally found love. Yet, the killer now has Marlin in the crosshairs and the case takes a dangerous twist. Odell realizes that there is only one way to bring the killer out of the shadows, and his plan is full of danger and risk. Risk to a woman that he has fallen in love with.

Odell, Marlin, Doodlesticks, the faithful Patrol Sergeant George Grundy, and the new Mohawk City Police Captain Connor Moore, along with the crime scene investigating genius of Officer Oliver Crump face the killer in a hair-raising showdown that puts Marlin directly in the face of the danger. Who will come out on top this time? Will Odell's plan work and will the elite team capture the ruthless killer? Or will Marlin become just another trophy victim of the insane killer?

Plucked out of the pages of the novel O'Malley by his creator, Homicide Detective Lyle Odell proved to be a hugely popular character with readers. In O'Malley, the good detective helps the principal character solve the mysteries of his past and the brutal homicide of a fellow police officer. The character proved to so popular with readers that Paul John Hausleben created a series of novels starring the eccentric, systematic, hard-drinking gumshoe Homicide Detective Lyle Odell. Here in this latest Detective Lyle Odell novel, the author weaves an exciting murder mystery and crime drama mixed with his usual unforgettable characters, and proves once again why Odell's creator earned the title of "The Master Storyteller."

Autorenporträt

Way back in time, when the dinosaurs first died off, at the ripe old age of sixteen, Paul John Hausleben, wrote three stories for a creative writing class in high school. Enrolled in a vocational school, and immersed in trade courses and apprenticeship, left little time for writing ventures but PJH wrote three exceptional and entertaining stories. Paul John Hausleben's stories caught the eye of two English teachers in the college-preparatory academic programs and they pulled the author out of his basic courses and plopped him in advanced English and writing courses. One of the English teachers had immense faith in Paul's talents, and she took PJH's stories, helped him brush them up and submitted them to a periodical for publication. To PJH's astonishment, the periodical published all three of the stories and sent him a royalty check for fifty dollars and . . . that was it. PJH did not write anymore because life got in his way. Fast forward to 2009 and while living on the road in Atlanta, Georgia (and struggling to communicate with the locals who did not speak New Jersey) for his full-time job, PJH took a part-time job writing music reviews for a progressive rock website, and that gig caused the writing bug to bite PJH once more. He recalled those old stories and found the old manuscripts hiding in a dusty box. After some doodling around with them, PJH decided to revisit them. Two stories became the nucleus for the anthology now known as, The Time Bomb in The Cupboard and Other Adventures of Harry and Paul. The other story became the anchor story for the collection known as, The Christmas Tree and Other Christmas Stories, Tales for a Christmas Evening. Now, many years and over thirty-five published works later, along with countless blogs and other work, PJH continues to write. Where and when it stops, only the author really knows.

On the other hand, does he really know?

If you ask Paul John Hausleben, he will tell you that he is not an author, he is just a storyteller. Other than writing, among many careers both paid and unpaid, he is a former semi-professional hockey goaltender, a music fan and music reviewer, an avid sports fan, photographer and amateur radio operator.
