Five homicides in just a few days aren't unusual in New
Orleans, but these deaths have the Police Department on
edge. Since Quinten Archer caught the first one, he now has
all five on his docket. A bank teller, a janitor, a
gangbanger, a councilman and an adoption attorney: What do
these people have in common? They're the five homicides.
The only thing linking any of them is a canister of Chill
left beneath each victim. Chill is a gas used to keep a
bottle of wine or beer cold if you don't have refrigeration
handy, available at any grocery or convenience store.
The local media has dubbed these murders the Chill Thrill
Kill. As Quinten tries to connect the murders, nothing
connects. The victims have been killed in different ways,
in different parts of town, and the killings appear to be
random. Are they really? He's beginning to think there may
be more than one killer on the loose, and that some of
these five individuals were killed for a different reason
entirely. The deeper he digs into his investigation, the
more dirt he uncovers.
New Orleans is once again the backdrop for Don Bruns'
second installment of his voodoo series, Quentin
Archer
Mysteries. It's a bizarre town with lots of sinister people
and strange happenings. And so are the supporting
characters in THRILL KILL, an assorted lot of quirky and
eccentric individuals who bring an interesting flavor to
the storyline. Quentin is a very driven homicide detective
who is not only trying to solve these New Orleans murders,
but is working on his own past issues in Detroit as well.
Mr. Bruns uses very descriptive language to make you see,
fell, hear and taste the flavor that is New Orleans. THRILL
KILL explores gang turf wars, drug cartels and human
trafficking as well as energy forces and the supernatural.
If thrillers are your genre, this is a great one!
Beneath the carefree atmosphere of Mardi Gras,
something very sinister is going on in the intriguing new
Quentin Archer mystery.
Three murders so far. No apparent motive; no link between
the victims; none of them have been robbed. One item ties
them together: a can of spray gas known as Chill has been
left at the scene of each crime. Is someone killing for
kicks? With no leads to pursue and no witnesses coming
forward, all the cops can do is wait for murder number four.
As rumours emerge, Archer realizes there’s a pattern taking
shape. Could there be more to these seemingly random
killings than meets the eye? Teaming up with voodoo queen
Solange Cordray, Archer begins to uncover evidence of a
shocking conspiracy.
