#6 of the Natalie McMasters Mysteries
Crime Fiction
Release Date: Aug 9, 2021
Her dead father once asked, “What did you do to make God sad,
Nattie?”
Natalie McMasters is a twentysomething college student who just wants
to get on with her life, and she’s got to wonder. Her dear friend lies
dead and the crazed killer responsible now has Nattie on his short list.
Her only choice? Cancel him before he cancels her!
Nattie assembles an unlikely squad to find the killer: her wife Lupe,
her husband Danny, an aging FBI agent and an even more ancient Tai Chi
master. Jointly and separately, they embark on a totally lit road trip
across the Old South, meeting danger and death at every turn. Unexpected
help is provided by a voice from the grave. But her adversary has a
badass squad too, and friends and loved ones fall along the way.
Naked and afraid in a primeval swamp, Nattie must confront her greatest
enemy one last time. How will she ever get the W?
About the Author
Thomas A. Burns Jr. writes the Natalie McMasters Mysteries from the small
town of Wendell, North Carolina, where he lives with his wife and son,
four cats and a Cardigan Welsh Corgi. He was born and grew up in New
Jersey, attended Xavier High School in Manhattan, earned B.S degrees in
Zoology and Microbiology at Michigan State University and a M.S. in
Microbiology at North Carolina State University. As a kid, Tom started
reading mysteries with the Hardy Boys, Ken Holt and Rick Brant, then
graduated to the classic stories by authors such as A. Conan Doyle,
Dorothy Sayers, John Dickson Carr, Erle Stanley Gardner and Rex Stout, to
name a few. Tom has written fiction as a hobby all of his life, starting
with Man from U.N.C.L.E. stories in marble-backed copybooks in grade
school. He built a career as technical, science and medical writer and
editor for nearly thirty years in industry and government. Now that he’s a
full time novelist, he’s excited to publish his own mystery series, as
well as to write stories about his second most favorite detective,
Sherlock Holmes. His Holmes story, The Camberwell Poisoner, recently
appeared in the March – June issue of The Strand Magazine. Tom has also
written a Lovecraftian horror novel, The Legacy of the Unborn, under the
pen name of Silas K. Henderson‒a sequel to H.P. Lovecraft’s masterpiece At
the Mountains of Madness.
