Description

Bodies are piling up in Flagler. For fans of Bones and Preacher comes a sharp supernatural police procedural set in the heart of Texas.

It was not Luke McWhorter's plan to become a law enforcement officer when he left for Yale Divinity School. But three generations of his family had worn the star, and after graduation, the needs of his community called him home to serve and protect. His theological training and his seventeen-year career as sheriff suddenly collide when bodies start piling up in Flagler, Texas. Two pilots are found brutally murdered in McWhorter's hometown, torn to pieces by their own plane's propeller, next to an ominous warning written in blood on the hanger wall.

In this fast-moving whodunit, McWhorter needs all the help he can get. He is joined by his chief deputy, Charles "Chuck" Del Emma; his FBI-agent girlfriend, Angie Steele; a precocious college student; and a 4,000-year-old mummy. Together, they tackle a crime spree that reaches all the way to the Middle East and back to the time of Noah's Ark.

Reviews

"So you suspect that the real attraction of crime fiction isn't the pow-pow plots but the chance to enjoy offbeat characters? If so, you're likely to enjoy Luke McWhorter ... Readers must relax expectations and enjoy the vaudeville of Luke's adventures." -- Booklist

"The writing paces like a page turner you can't put down ... One Good and Deadly Deed delivers like they do in Texas." -- The Bay Observer
