The Mystery of Choctaw Ridge: A Collection of Short Stories - Paperback

by Janson Mancheski (Author)

Janson Mancheski surprised the 2010 crime writing field by winning the prestigious Sharp Writ Book Awards with his novel The Chemist. Since then, "The Chemist Series" books have entertained fans of action, suspense, and twisty crime thrillers. In his new collection of short stories, Janson presents ten entertaining episodes centered around violence, survival, and death-flavored by the numerous times he's barely escaped his own demise. The Mystery of Choctaw Ridge solves the riddle of what happened in the 1960s mega-hit song "Ode to Billie Joe." She's Something Else, The Decoy, and About The Girls focus on innocent victims' fight for survival. Driving Highway 41, Tenderfoot, and Death by Hoe reveal how close to death we all are. Mighty Al and God's Daughter depict supernatural mysteries, and Murdered by Big Giant unmasks a well-known publishing corporation's ability to bully, suppress, and censure writers they deem devious and controversial.

Caution: These tales are not for the faint of heart.
