Pocol Press Announces the Spring 2008 Release of the Mystery Novel Sleuth Slayer

Clifton, VA, January 01, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Sleuth Slayer by Bruce W. Burton and Jeffrey B. Burton
ISBN: 9781929763328, $17.95

Pocol Press announces the Spring 2008 release of Sleuth Slayer by the father and son writing team of Bruce W. Burton and Jeffrey B. Burton.

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.

Jeffrey B. Burton is also the author of the short fiction horror collection Shadow Play (Pocol Press, 2005).
