The Killer Who Hated Soup

by Bill A. Brier

Overview

The Internet? Never heard of it. Smart Phones? Who you kiddin'? We're talkin' 1956.

Energetic and eager to make his mark on what Time Magazine called the next great boom town, Bucky Ontario leave his Louisiana home and hops a bus to Defiance, Oklahoma--a town not particularly averse to murders, just to the embarrassment of them.

While helping his friend, Kindra, search for a ring that once belonged to her dead mother, Bucky is told:

"Find the baby, find the ring."

About the Author

Bill A. Brier grew up in California and went to Hollywood High School. After serving in the air force as a combat cameraman, he hired on at Disney Studios as a film loader and advanced from there.

He earned a master’s degree in psychology—a big help when working with Trumpish Hollywood producers—you’re fired! During his more-than-twenty-five years in the movie business as a cameraman, film editor, and general manager, Brier worked on everything from the hilarious, The Love Bug, to the creepy, The Exorcist, to the far out, Star Trek and Battle Star Galactica.

Eight years ago, Brier switched from reading scripts to writing mysteries and driving racecars. After completing three award-winning novels, he signed with Black Opal Books.

Editorial Reviews

Brier's launch of his '50s, small-town Oklahoma mystery series is both chilling and refreshingly different. Filled with fast-paced action and delightful devil-may-care, good ol' country rednecks, this intriguing and oftentimes humorous mystery is one you won't unravel until the end. Get ready to laugh, shake your head, and bite your nails--all at the same time. ~ Pepper O'Neal author of the award-winning Black Ops Chronicles series

Like reluctant amateur sleuth Bucky, the reader's lured to and quickly charmed by prospering Defiance, Oklahoma, until the glitz flakes off in the face of murder and mayhem. Brier does a fabulous job recreating the '50s atmosphere as an exciting backdrop for sinister events and shady dealings. He keeps us guessing to the bitter end. ~ Edith Parzefall, author of the Hangman of Nuremburg historical mystery series

For an historical mystery, the story is remarkably fast-paced and riveting--a page turner from beginning to end.

Brier has created amusing but realistic characters and interspersed his fast-paced action and tension with flashes of humor, making the story not only gripping but fun to read.
