Jim West never dreams his demonstration of forensic hypnosis on a
university student would stir up memories of an 18-year old
mystery....
When Jim West, a former Air Force Special Agent with the office of
Special Investigations, moves back to New Mexico his goal is
simple: start an easy- going second career as a part time
professional lecturer on investigative techniques to colleges and
civic organizations. He never envisioned that a practical
demonstration of forensic hypnosis with a state university student
would stir up memories of an 18-year old murder. When the student
is murdered three days later, West finds himself ensnared in a web
of intrigue that pits him and the small town's authorities against
a ruthless, psychotic killer.
An aggressive reporter for the town's newspaper seeks out West to
help her with the story, but after the murder of one of her
co-workers her efforts quickly align with West and the Sheriff. As
West works closely with the reporter, he wonders if this could be
the first real relationship for him since his devastating divorce a
few years earlier.
The killer, though, has other plans for her as he believes she has
become a threat to his anonymity. The story twists and turns,
leading up to dramatic confrontation.
Praise
"Look out for a new hero on the mystery/thriller landscape Jim
West, retired military investigator, is resourceful, intuitive,
pragmatic and always competent. All of West's abilities are tested
when he matches wits with psychopathic serial killer William White,
a man whose appreciation for murder is surpassed only by his
delight in domination. Bob Doerr has crafted a must-read addition
to the genre in Dead Men Can Kill, which evolves from absorbing
story to absolute page-turner as West closes in on a killer who is
supposedly dead. Highly recommended "
" --Dallin Malmgren, author of...
The Whole Nine Yards The Ninth Issue Is This for a Grade? "
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. The action scenes were suspenseful,
riveting and a bit scary
-- "Bruce Ruud, Retired Federal Agent/Investigator""
AUTHOR Bob Doerr grew up in a military family, attended the Air
Force Academy, and then had a career of his own in the Air Force.
It was a life style that had him moving every three or four years,
but also one that exposed him to the people and cultures of
numerous countries in Asia and Europe and to most of these United
States. In the Air Force, Bob specialized in criminal
investigations and counterintelligence, gaining significant insight
to the worlds of crime, espionage and terrorism, which he uses to
provide authentic details in his novels about how law enforcement
agencies do their work.
