Reseña del libro "Sentinel In Elysium (en Inglés)"
It's 1975, two years before the murder of Delores Fogel shocked the Central Texas town of Elysium, setting up the chain of events that would lead to the post-millennium conclusion to the mystery in Murder In Elysium. Michael Lee "Mucho Love" Harper, Elysium's Chief of Police, has a double-murder on his hands, and this is the strangest killing of his career. The Childresses were wealthy and they had their fingers in every slice of local pie. They were, however, hermits, hoarders, and the owners of a chain of funeral parlors that stretched from the Gulf Coast to El Paso. Mucho Love, Elysium's sentinel, must delve deeply into the dark secrets of his own town in order to catch the killer and hold onto his job-a monumental task, because the powers-that-be want anything but a resolution. ACCOLADES FOR THE ELYSIUM CHRONICLES: "The small Texas town of Elysium isn't a happy place. Shane Robeling, the chief of police, has had a hand in the release of a man convicted of murder nearly thirty years ago. When the man returns to town, resentments flare, old secrets are exposed, and trouble follows. Lots of trouble. The pace is fast, the characters could be your Texas neighbors, and George Wier has another winner. Check it out." -Bill Crider, author of the Sheriff Dan Rhodes Mysteries. "George Wier has done it again! Murder in Elysium is the multi-layered, dark tale of a decades old murder in this small, picturesque Texas town. Police Chief Shane Robeling still searches for the killer, and his association with Elysium is...complicated. Razor sharp, distinctive characters and a wicked, twisting storyline; these are Wier's forte, and he is at the top of his game in this tale of murder, secrets, and lies in a town whose surface beauty hides both violence and depravity underneath." -Billy Kring, author of the Hunter Kincaid mystery series. "There's a reason George Wier ranks among my favorite authors. The man is a first class storyteller who never fails to entertain me with his captivating tales of Texas intrigue and mystery. He's done it again with Murder in Elysium, the story of an old murder in a small town where secrets and betrayal lurk just below the calm surface, and you never know what skeletons hang in the closets of the folks you nod to on Main Street or sit next to at the counter of the diner. Don't start this book until you have time to read it all the way through because like all of Wier's books, you won't be able to put it down!" -Nick Russell, Author of the Big Lake mystery series. "George Wier writes the kind of mysteries that make you skip the chores or forget what's on TV, because you just want to read one more chapter. Then another. Add Murder in Elysium to that list. If you haven't discovered Wier yet, you're in luck, because he has more than a dozen novels waiting to keep you entertained." -Ben Rehder, Author of the Blanco County mystery series. "The rot that lies beneath the veneer of small-town friendliness is George Wier's fodder in his masterful Murder In Elysium. In Shane Robeling, he has a detective that should be the replacement on the sad day that Bill Travis (of The Bill Travis Mysteries) finally has his last adventure. With enough clues to point to any and everyone, this mystery will keep you guessing until the final chilling reveal." -Robert A. Taylor, Author of Warp and The Lascaux Nightmare, and the creator of Today In Alternate History.
