No Small Parts: The Genius of Gene Hackman

By Benjamin C. Miller

Gene Hackman, acclaimed actor and author of Payback at Morning Peak, "takes aim at a clear target: telling a good story" (St. Augustine Record) in this gripping thriller that pits a devoted police sergeant against a predator who may cost her everything that matters."I'll say this for the last time. Take your hand off the shotgun." In a tense standoff with a shopping mall shooter, Sergeant Juliette Worth has the suspect about to surrender-then in a few explosive seconds, she takes him down.
Usually a by-the-book cop, Julie has too much at stake, raising her daughter on her own, to break protocol-until the mall killer pushes her over the line. Instead of kudos for saving his hostage, the Missouri State Criminal Investigation Unit hands Julie cold case duty. From Book 1: As the planets aligned, something otherworldly began.
The town of Storyville was shifting, and amid the night the townspeople would experience the most spectacular and supernatural happenings...
For over a year, FBI agent Coraline Pratt had been tracking the sadistic Postcard Killer.
Forced to play his game, she followed the trail of breadcrumbs that stretched across the entire country to Storyville.
A town with many mysteries and possibly even answers to Cora's hidden past.
From the moment she arrived in town, Cora felt something was different.
But while Cora hunts for the elusive killer, a young girl from town is abducted.
As she pivots to assist the local sheriff with finding her, Cora finds herself enveloped by a series of events that deepen the unknown.
While attempting to untangle the web she finds herself in the center of, she bears witness to strange things in town, things that defy rationality.
The townspeople believe that it's a malevolent omen, a sign of terrible things to come.
And soon it seems that the killer drew Cora to Storyville believing she plays a key role in the twisted and terrible events that loom over the town.
