Murderhouse Blues

The first time Jackson Compton was on television he was a star. The next time will be murder. FBI Agent Barry Donfield lies in a hospital, a bullet in his spine. During his final hours, he pieces together the story of a serial killer who made headlines over the summer indiscriminately killing on the set of a reality T.V. show called "Murderhouse." What Agent Donfield uncovers in the course of bringing down one killer may point him to another. Ultimately, his search for the truth may cost him everything. “Murderhouse Blues” mixes the character-driven nature of literary fiction and the best features of a top-notch thriller. It is the first installment of a planned trilogy. Publisher’s Weekly wrote “The author portrays these and other characters with a deft hand, as he juggles several plots, all of which point straight to the Murderhouse and the horror that is to come. This is a master at work; readers will be unable to look away from the blood-soaked finale, which features a special twist.”* Murderhouse was a semifinalist in Amazon’s 2013 Breakthrough Novel Award competition.
