| The father and son writing team of Bruce W. Burton and Jeffrey B. Burton join forces in Sleuth
Slayer.
America's leading mystery writers are being brutally murdered. Third-tier author Guy Davitt—a would-be
Dashiell Hammett—stumbles upon the killer’s bizarre M.O. (the deaths are lifted from mystery novels). But
Davitt cannot convince deeply skeptical police a "Sleuth Slayer" actually exists.
Through a dark labyrinth of film studio power brokers, publishing industry politics, a decadent family's
wealthy influence, police immorality—as well as the dawning realization that he himself is on the
killer's
list—Davitt pursues the truth.
Sleuth Slayer is also available as an ebook
on Amazon.com for the Kindle.

| Text Of Review: SLEUTH SLAYER (Pocol Press) by Jeffrey Burton and Bruce Burton is a damn entertaining book. I’m a sucker for bookswith real life people as characters and with their protagonist, writer Guy Davitt, they manage to give an insider’s wink to areally great period in time. Someone is killing mystery writers and Davitt discovers that they are being killed with methodsfrom mystery novels. This has actually been done, but not in this period. Davitt needs to solve the crimes that the police don’t want to admit are linked by fiction before he becomes the next victim himself. The Burton’s have a real gift forstorytelling and this book is compelling and engrossing. It’s kind of like they used a time travel machine to go back and create a alternate reality. It’s also a hell of a lot of fun. If you want to spend a really nice afternoon, kick back with this book. I hope to see more of Davitt and more from the Burtons. Seek this book out, you won’t be sorry. |
