The Case of the Deer Camp Killer: a Philip Hook Mystery Roger Mallon

Publisher Marketing: Hunter Tom Messner is found dead in his treestand in God's Country, Potter County, Pennsylvania, shot through the head with his own rifle. Was his death a suicide, a tragic accident or was it a cold blooded murder? Outdoor writer Philip Hook and his genius buddy, Hobson O'Hair, search for the answer in The Case Of The Deer Camp Killer. The amateur sleuth and his curious pal investigate two possible motives and four possible killers before they determine what actually happened that mournful dawn during Pennsylvania's firearms deer hunting season. The search for truth leads through the snowy mountains of Potter County, the farm lands of southeast Pennsylvania, a seedy bar in Reading, a speciality fly fishing shop, a gunmaker's workshop, a sheet metal factory, a gun fair and the early morning scene of an illegal pistol duel. In The Case Of The Deer Camp Killer, you will meet outdoor writer Philip Hook, a dependable friend of the outdoors community; brainy Hobs O'Hair, Hook's favorite fishing buddy and sounding board; Chester Bowersox, known as Crisis, for good reasons; and the Messner family: father, Tom; mother Rose; sons Kyle and Bobby and their loving, busy-body Aunt Violet. Scant clues are found at the mountainside scene of Tom Messner's death. Hook is a man who hates unanswered questions. In The Case Of The Deer Camp Killer, Philip Hook and company lead an exciting, often hilarious, hunt for truth, but will truth bring a killer to justice?
