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

We've come to expect a lot from author Bill A. Brier, and he didn't disappoint in this newest mystery. On a par with Sherlock Holmes, Brier has us—and new Police Chief Bucky Ontario—scratching our heads and trying to figure out how the killer got out of a locked room...locked from the inside. A chilling and thoroughly intriguing mystery, one you won't be able to put down. ~ Pepper O'Neal, author of the award-winning Black Ops Chronicle series

Newly appointed Police Chief Bucky Ontario wields the power to hunt and arrest criminals, or does he? Still learning the ropes of his job, he's up against the KKK knotting ropes into nooses. A wonderfully mysterious and thrilling Killer Who novel, with the unique '50s charm we loved in the series debut, The Killer Who Hated Soup. ~ Edith Parzefall, author of the Hangman of Nuremberg historical mystery series
