CRAZY THINGS ABOUT THIS BOOK
“Hunsicker’s multi-layered murder mystery would be crazy enough was it rooted in one’s own backyard. But with the deep, complicated heart of Africa as the book’s main stage, this story feels all too unsettling - and yet, all too plausible. Fortunately, Hunsicker sprinkles the tale with his brand of hard-boiled humor.”
GREAT READING AHEAD!
CROCODILE MAN KILLS AMERICAN RESEARCHER IN CENTRAL AFRICA !!
Kael Husker stumbles over this National Enquirer-like headline in a week-old edition of his local Southeast Alaska newspaper. The dead researcher, a woman named Molly McGinley, had once been a friend of his when both were Peace Corps volunteers in Central Africa.
Soon after reading of her unusual death at the hands/claws of an alleged Central African sorcerer with the ability to change himself into a crocodile, Kael is haunted by vivid visions of her reaching out for his help.
In 1990, Kael decides to journey to the Central African Republic to find the truth, and maybe, find a little redemption. What he discovers is a scheme so twisted, he needs Molly's help to solve it.
Phil Hunsicker’s new novel - due out about mid-May, 2021 - will be just the treat you deserve after this long and confined winter.
