Abuse of Murder

By Terry Persun

What Readers say:
"A complex tale of abuse and murder."
"Ongoing tension throughout."
"Nearly as important as the crime is the small town feeling of ongoing tension of businesses closing and jobs vanishing."

"The subject matter of abuse is handled with insight, the plot is nicely twisty, and the tension mounts as the action drives to a riveting conclusion."
"The characters are real, well developed and sympathetic even if they are flawed."

A series of murders where men are found in empty houses with their skulls crushed is sweeping across Hepburn county.

Deputy Sheriff Leslie Fuller and his partner Mae Belle Walker must discover the connecting thread to the killings.

While the suspect count increases, Fuller and Walker broaden their search of suspects and penetrate deeper into the community.

As the threats get closer to home, Fuller is lured into a trap which leaves him in even more dire circumstances.

With heart wrenching decisions to make, Fuller and Walker pull the puzzle pieces together. But the whole investigation could easily fall apart when Deputy Fuller's family gets intimately involved in the case.

"I like the way the author puts abuse into perspective, balancing it out insightfully."
"My kind of crime/mystery."
"A well-written mystery that drives to a pulse-pounding conclusion."
