Suspense/Mystery
Date
Published: 8/6/12
Synopsis:
After
a murdered partner, a cheating wife and a lost job in Houston, Nick
Sibelius sets up a private investigation business in a small Texas
town hoping to find some peace and maybe, himself. When a couple
disappears and a bass fisherman turns up dead, he finds himself drawn
into a web of toxic relationships: MaryLou, a beautiful woman
with a mysterious past; Junior, a failed farmer whose best intentions
seem to always result in a dead body; Barry, a sociopathic dentist
turned illegal toxic waste entrepreneur with visions of grandeur.
When the felon who killed his partner in Houston joins forces with
Barry, Nick must not only stop the toxic waste dumping while finding
his client’s missing daughter, but keep from being killed in the
process. In the end, MaryLou’s dark secret will either save him or
kill him -- whichever comes first.
“Tight
suspense with wonderful laugh out loud moments. Richard Hacker is a
master storyteller."
Pam
Binder, Pacific Northwest Writers Association President and author of
the NY Times Best Selling anthology, A
Season in the Highlands
"Many
times I found myself getting strange looks because I was laughing out
loud...Highly entertaining and sure to be enjoyed by fans of
mysteries with humor. I highly recommend it and hope that there will
be more stories to follow."
