CORRUPTION'S CHILD

CORRUPTION'S CHILD, the third in the Sticks Hetrick mystery series, is now available  from Whiskey Creek Press, www.whiskeycreekpress.com
 
Retired police chief Daniel ‘Sticks’ Hetrick, still serving as unofficial consultant to his less experienced successor, has another murder to deal with in rural Swatara Creek, Pennsylvania. It soon develops the death of a local waitress is not the only trouble in the township. An elderly man has been seriously injured in the latest of a string of burglaries from the Amish, the burglaries may have a connection to unscrupulous antique dealers, there are items missing from the police department evidence room and rumors of drug dealing are circulating. What--if anything--do all of these have in common? Could it be the strange Amish girl who may, or may not be, Flora Vastines new friend?
 
Sticks Hetrick was introduced in SOMETHING IN COMMON, published in June 2006 by Whiskey Creek Press. The second novel in the series, CRUEL CUTS, was released in June 2007.
 
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT CRUEL CUTS:

 

“John R. Lindermuth doesn't write fiction.  He writes life!  The people, the setting and the events in this story are things you'll long remember.  You won't be just reading this story of realistic characters, you'll experience it.  From a secret crush to a murderous plot, there are twists and turns in every chapter.  Sticks Hetrick--retired?  Don't you believe it.” Anne K. Edwards, author of Death On Delivery, www.mysteryfiction.net

 

"John Lindermuth has magnum sizzle. Reading him is like a fresh bullet fired from a newly minted gun." - Eric Meeks, author of the Author Murders
