Mercury & Murder

Beowulf Chronicles #2

by Rhett Bigler

Former Marine Kurt West is a bounty hunter who, when not chasing bail jumpers, tracks down aliens who stray outside the lines of the normally quiet--and supposedly alien-free--Chapel Hill.

As the college town’s annual crowded street party approaches, the man accused of a chilling execution-style murder has skipped out on bail and fear grips the community. Kurt gets the call to bring him in, but soon discovers ties between his fugitive and the illicit alien drug trade. When a floater turns up in a lake, apparently killed with an alien weapon, Kurt suddenly has two high-priority cases. But do the cases connect? And do they lead where Kurt thinks or to some place even more deadly?

Reviews

[Bernie · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lot is happening in the small college town of Chapel-Hill. Halloween and alien tourists is an explosive combination. Throw in a mass murderer and things are bound to happen. Kurt West thinks he is on top of it but he needs a lot of help along the way. There are enough twists and turns to keep anyone's attention. This book will appeals to science fiction and murder mystery enthusiasts. I have not read the fist book but after reading this book I intend to get it. I also look forward to the next book in the series.

I received the book for free through Goodreads Giveaways. It was a tough beginning, but once I understood about the aliens and humans, I really enjoyed the book. Kurt and Papa Bear are great characters, and I thoroughly enjoyed the humor in the scenes. The descriptions were wonderful, and I could picture many of the aliens in my head. I will recommend this book to all who want a very good and interesting read.

Firstreads Winner. Loved this book. It was a fast ride though a wonderful cross of worlds. I want this to be a TV series where the bounty hunters are followed in their endeavors to wrestle with alien outlaws. This was such a rich world the author created full of gritty characters and humor. The dialogue is witty, unreverent, and quick. This is a great book with all the fun of an amusement park.
