Sleuth Slayer Bruce W Burton

Sleuth Slayer is penned 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.
