A Final Explosion -- Author Bruce Pierce Brings an Explosive End to His 'Jogging Deputy' Series

PHOENIX, July 23, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- A fatal car accident in the dead of night reveals an unidentified corpse and a gun with a silencer. What's more, the address of a high school teacher, who is also a summer deputy, is found on the body. This leads the sheriff to believe his employee was the target of a hired gunman. But who wants the deputy killed and why?

A brutal homicide, a disappearing cadaver, a sensational trial, and a series of alleged attacks disturb the peace of Anishanabe County in this sixth and final installment of a mystery series. Hit and Miss (Paperback $20.99; Xlibris Publishing) is now available at your local bookstore, or you may purchase it online at Xlibris.com.
