| 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: Poetic injustice is a term one could use. Mystery writers begin to turn up dead, and a mystery sits on who is responsible. Sleuth Slayer follows Guy Davitt, a lesser known mystery writer who notices the pattern of the mystery writers turning up dead from methods are pulled right out of their novels. Faced with the disbelief from law enforcement, and the entanglement of bureaucracy as he himself realizes that he may be a target, Guy must unravel the mystery before he joins his fellow practitioners of the mystery writing craft. Sleuth Slayer is a top pick for community library mystery collections and for mystery fans in general.
