A Ten Pounder
The Wes Oakley Action, Adventure, Mystery, Series
Book One of a Duology
Volume 12
Welcome to “A Ten Pounder”, the twelfth volume in the exciting, riveting, Wes Oakley Action, Adventure, Mystery Series. This wonderful novel is the first of an enjoyable, thrilling duology.
When vicious, brutal, rapes, beatings, and murders start happening in each stop of the Supreme Bass Anglers Association sports show tour, hunting and fishing outfitter, and super sleuth, Wes Oakley starts to take notice of the deadly occurrences.
Wes’ chief suspects are the three leading money winners on the SBAA fishing tour, Jimmy Sanders, aka “The Dumbest Kid in Idaho”, playboy Jace Easton, and angry, strongman Chuck Nolan.
Is the killer on that list? Or, is he a twisted, demented psychopath who is following the tour, and killing in every stop? Or are the murders who work of a team of psychopaths operating in every city? Or is it someone inside the SBAA organization who has a secret reason for performing the heinous crimes?
As the chase continues, Oakley ends up in a sticky wicket, having to testify in a court case against a good friend who is suspected of committing one of the murders.
How many killers are there? One, two, three, four, five, or seven more who are acting in unison?
We uses his knowledge of forensic science to narrow down the list of suspects, and to solve the seven murders. That success causes Wes much grief, but it also gives him an opportunity to stick to his views about right and wrong, and his religious beliefs.
Please enjoy this exciting, multi-plot, action-infused, mystery, thriller, as it is a great read, one which offers surprises, twists and turns, a series of unexpected events, and a shocking ending of the saga.
As with every novel I bring to the public, it is my honor, and my pleasure, to do so. I know that you will love the story that unfolds in “A Ten Pounder”.
Blessings,
