Murders of the Sixth Kind

Legends of Tsalagee, Book Two

By: Phil Truman

Narrated by: Richard Peterson

Grisly corpses. Odd occurrences after dark. Can he nail a killer with a baffling M.O.?

Tsalagee, Oklahoma. Deputy Sheriff Cal Bluehorse isn't sure if unexplained lights in the sky over protected Choctaw land fall under his jurisdiction. But he definitely has his hands full when the same land surfaces a mutilated body missing organs and drained of blood. Battling the semi-hostile clan’s resistance to any investigation, the frustrated deputy’s work gets complicated when he uncovers a massive drug operation hidden among the vast ranch lands. And with few suspects, more hacked-up victims, and now gruesomely mutilated cattle showing up, the beleaguered lawman desperately needs a result before the fields start running red...

Can Bluehorse catch a deadly dismemberer before he loses life and limb? Murders of the Sixth Kind is the gripping second book in the Legends of Tsalagee mystery series. If you like complex characters, dark humor, and hints of the supernatural, then you’ll love Phil Truman’s twisted tale.

Aliens? Mafia? Drug Lords? YES!

This was a great read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Take a murder mystery, throw in a person in witness protection, a few dismembered cows and a drug cartel and you might have a glimpse of what's in store!

Deputy Cal Bluehorse is called out to investigate mysterious lights in the sky (could it be a UFO?), then finds a dismembered body. His Uncle White befriends the new guy in town (who happens to be in WITSEC) and they decide to go exploring for gold! Then, you have local Tubby family, who seem to be at the bottom of the strange occurrences.

The book moves at a fast pace and there are plenty of quirky characters and humor mixed in with the mysteries. The author does a great job of mixing the various storylines together and coming to a great ending. The narrator did a great job and his pacing was perfect for the book.

Ya never know

You never know where Phil Truman is going to take you. Wonderful characters who seem to be about half a bubble off center. And Richard Peterson provides these people with a voice. Will be looking forward to their next book.

More weird Oklahoma folk!

MURDERS OF THE SIXTH KIND

A REVIEW BY ROBERT W SCHRADER

 

            This story begins with the report of someone or something, killed a gnome.

            A visit to Tubby Land puts the deputy up a tree. Two Dobermans stand their ground, leaving the deputy with a choice of falling, sitting on his tree limb, or being eaten by the dogs.

His dilemma continues – space aliens enter the story. Maybe! A Tall blond with a shimmering blue jumpsuit

         "Murders of the Sixth Kind" is an excellent story with fascinating characters, twists, turns, and rapid changes. Sergeant Call Bluehorse’s Uncle White is determined to be the Gnome killer, but another dead body draws the Chief Deputy’s attention; a mutilated body.

The alien (?) enters the story wearing a shimmering blue jumpsuit. Gnomes accompany the tall blond. The alien desires an ancient object buried under the Tubby Land barn.

The author has Gangsters named after missing body parts. For example, the Federal Witness Relocation program placed a gentleman named Two Toes in a cabin at Tubby Land. Two Toes think gold is buried on the property next to his rental house. Tubby Land owns both properties. Tubby discourages visitors but likes his exciting renter.

            Bright lights attract others to the area. The lead sergeant and his deputies investigate an unusual UFO chase and the author gives new meaning to "Murders of the Sixth Kind".

            Step, the dog, may have been an average dog, but his owner, the Pistol Packing Crazy lady, a Vietnam veteran with medical training, doesn't play with a full deck of card according to the neighbors.
Pistol Mama has seen the light from the UFO.

            UFOs, gold, and drugs intertwine. Lust or perhaps love, connects the only female deputy and the independent investigator of UFO sightings.

            Ted Amos Tubby is the leader of the Tubby Land Clan. Ted Amos runs off white men and everyone else but makes a deal with the drug dealers.

            The temporary Coroner, a local doctor, works by the hour. And he was getting lots of business, human and bovine.

Murders that aren’t! UFOs, people and cattle mutilations, gangsters named after missing body parts, drug dealers, and hidden gold, challenge an equally challenged Sheriff and his deputies.   

           "Murders of the Sixth Kind" is a fascinating story with strange characters, twists, turns, and rapid direction changes. See how everything comes together by listening to the rest of Phil's unreal story.
            I like the author’s yarn. You will like it too!

 

FANTASTIC BOOK!

I would have to describe this book as a modern day mystery with a touch of science fiction. It is set in Oklahoma and is very accurate in its descriptions. The story revolves around some long-hidden gold and the bad guys who are after it, keeping the good guys really busy trying to keep law and order. This is a very enjoyable book that I highly recommend to anyone who loves a good story that will hold their attention. Also, the narrator is excellent for this story.

Delightfully Weird

One of the best books I've read in a while. Just about all the characters were likable, even the "bad" ones. The story was easy to follow but you never knew where it was going or why. Amusing along with the drama.
