I would like to share a new action packed suspenseful novel with you called Deadly Distractions (Stan Turner Mystery Book 6) by William Manchee which I received a PDF Copy of from Voracious Readers for this review. Inside this post are my affiliate links if you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the items you purchase.
Deadly Distractions (Stan Turner Mystery Book 6) is a fictional novel that will showcase every mistake you should avoid, whether you are a layman or an attorney, when dealing in a dispute with the Federal Government. This is a legal thriller high schoolers and older could read because there isn’t any graphic violence, vulgar language, or explicit sex.
Stan Turner has not one but two problems on his hands. The first problem is one client Dusty Thomas is accused of killing an overly aggressive IRS agent and another client, Tex Weller disappears in Ecuador after deposited millions of dollars in Dusty’s escrow account. The storyline will keep you on the edge of your seat.
If you enjoy reading series of books then you will enjoy Deadly Distractions (Stan Turner Mystery Book 6) which is book 6. I like that the books can be read as a stand along because this is the first book I’ve had the opportunity to read of William Manchee but it will not be the last book of his I read. Not only that The Author lives in Plano, Texas which is right down the street from me.
About the book:
After two tough years practicing law, Stan and his family take a well deserved vacation to Colorado. Unfortunately the vacation is cut short when a client is found standing over the body of a dead IRS agent. It appears to be an open and shut case since Dusty Thomas has had a long feud with the dead agent Bobby Tuttle, and more than enough motive to kill him, yet he claims to be innocent.
Stan’s new partner Paula Waters convinces Stan to finish his vacation promising to handle Dusty Thomas’ arraignment and get an investigation underway. While Stan is away, she makes good on her promise and even manages to arrange financing for Dusty’s defense. But Stan is mortified when he reads in the Colorado papers that a radical paramilitary group, the Citizens Defense Alliance or CDA, is doing the funding.
Since the CDA denies the legitimacy of the federal income tax and has been a target of federal prosecutors for many years, Stan and Paula immediately come under the close scrutiny of the FBI and the press. To further complicate matters, Stan’s best client and close friend, Tex Weller, is reported missing by his wife. When Stan investigates his disappearance he finds a letter that leads him to believe Tex is in Ecuador.
While Stan is searching for Tex in Ecuador, Paula continues her investigation of Bobby Tuttle’s murder and quickly discovers a long list of enemies with motive to kill him. But her investigation is sidetracked when she learns Stan is missing and may have been kidnaped. As weeks go by and Stan isn’t found, she is forced to turn her attention back to the Dusty Thomas case and leave the search for Stan up to the FBI and the local Ecuadorian authorities. Barely able to concentrate, she plods on and day by day and soon becomes convinced that Dusty Thomas is innocent.
