Jack Dantzler #2
The Devil's Racket
Four people brutally murdered in Manson-style slayings. A name written in blood on the TV screen. A scene straight out of a gruesome horror movie. Only it isn't a movie—it's very real. It's also unlike anything Kentucky homicide detective Jack Dantzler has ever encountered. The Devil's Racket plunges Dantzler into a nightmarish world where he will have to uncover acts of unspeakable evil. To avoid becoming the next victim, Dantzler must use all of his skill and cunning to stop the powers of darkness that have been unleashed in this normally quiet city.

About the author
Tom Wallace
80 books16 followersTom Wallace is the author of two previous detective novels, What Matters Blood and The Devil’s Racket, both set in Lexington, Kentucky, where he currently lives. The Heirs of Cain will be his first novel published by Medallion Press. It is the story of a legendary assassin who must track down a former comrade hired to kill the U.S. president and three top Middle East leaders.
Tom spent many years as a successful, award-winning sportswriter/editor in his native Kentucky. He authored five sports-related books, including the highly popular Kentucky Basketball Encyclopedia, an in-depth history of the University of Kentucky’s legendary hoops program. He has contributed articles and columns to numerous national sports magazines, and has also done writing/editing on two national bestsellers by basketball coach Rick Pitino—Success Is A Choice And Lead To Succeed.
Tom is a Vietnam vet, an avid reader, and an admittedly snobbish movie guy. He is also an active member of Mystery Writers of America and the Author’s Guild. Tom’s two artistic icons are Marlon Brando and Leonard Cohen.

The author is from my home town of Central City KY. We went to school together and our folks were good friends. I am proud to know him.
This is the second book starring detective Jack Dantzler. His first book was WHAT MATTERS BLOOD.
From the back cover:
Four people brutally murdered in Manson-style slayings. A name written in blood on the TV screen. A scene straight out of a gruesome horror movie. Only it isn't a movie-it's very real. It's also unlike anything Kentucky homicide detective Jack Dantzler has ever encountered. The Devil's Racket plunges Dantzler into a nightmarish world where he will have to uncover acts of unspeakable evil. To avoid becoming the next victim, Dantzler must use all of his skill and cunning to stop the powers of darkness that have been unleashed in this normally quiet city.
I do believe he is getting the hang of novel writing. give him a try.
