The Killer Series

The Killer Series features three of Steve Akley’s short stories involving, well, you probably guessed it: killers. These tales come from Steve Akley’s Commuter Series – the perfect length for one or two rides to work. Despite the central tie-in of the “killer theme,” each has a unique approach and different storytelling style.

Included in this book are the following short stories:

A Killer in Kilauea
Kilauea is a sleepy town on the northeastern shore of the Hawaiian Island of Kaua'i. The beauty of the area attracts tourists and celebrities, many of whom enjoy a second home there. When an international starlet turns up dead in Kilauea, the pressure is on the local police chief to solve the mystery of who committed the murder before being forced to turn over the case to a larger department.

Can the chief save the integrity and dignity of the police department by solving the mystery of A Killer in Kilauea in time?

The Bacon Killer
Everybody loves bacon, right?

With the bevy of t-shirts, recipes and encroachment into popular culture, you sure would think so. Then again, you don’t know Scott Lomez. He has a different take on bacon and what it represents.

Getting everyone onboard against their favorite salty, fatty treat is going to prove a real challenge. Scott is willing to go to any length to get the American public to take note, though.

It’s time they meet The Bacon Killer!

The Donut Shop Killer
In the small St. Louis suburb town of Oakville, The Orange Rooster’s Donuts has been serving up the area’s favorite treats since 1956. Several years ago, this small shop generated a “crime of the century” level of attention when patrons of this beloved donut haven began turning up dead.

Now awaiting execution on death row, author Steve Akley checks-in with the killer and the other players in this mystery which captured so much interest a few years back. Firsthand accounts by all of the players involved, along with an in-depth interview of the cast of characters, provide unique insight and the definitive look at The Donut Shop Killer.
