"Trail Camera" Images Play Role in Mystery/Thriller Novel

Trail camera pictures play a part in Livermore author John G. Bluck's mystery/thriller novel, Death in the Holler, published by Rough Edges Press on July 4, 2023. An article in the New York Post recently recommended this book as one of 20 "action-packed books to bring on vacation this summer. " The Post is the fifth largest newspaper in the United States by circulation.

The novel's protagonist, Kentucky Game Warden Luke Ryder, is an alcoholic on the verge of losing his job. But when a Louisville gangster is found dead in rural Kentucky—on the first day of muzzle-loader hunting season—a chance for Luke to prove his worth strikes.

Asked to help with the investigation by County Sheriff Jim Pike, Luke works on the case while also confronting his addiction and using his innate detective skills to uncover clues and track down the killer.

Along the way, he discovers that the murdered man came to the Holler for a specific reason—a reason that might connect to a larger conspiracy. Suddenly, solving this murder is the perfect opportunity for Luke to turn his life around and become a deputy sheriff.

The true question is…can Luke Ryder find the killer before something more menacing comes to the Holler? https://geni.us/LukeRyderOne
