August 12, 2020: Murder, sex trafficking, and drugs
It’s the dog days of summer. Recently, American Indian sovereignty over reservation land in Oklahoma has been in the news, which reminded me of a true crime book I read this spring—Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI. It’s a great read about a series of murders in Oklahoma in the 1920’s with some surprising twists.
Still hammering away on book 9, where there’s a subplot involving sex trafficking, which is a bigger problem than you might think. Here’s a link to some background research, if you’re into reading up on it.

And from the “you can’t make this up” file, here’s an article about a pharmacist arrested in a plot to firebomb a rival. Really. Not kidding.
Finally, if you’re into free eBook promos, here’s two I’m participating in: The Dial M for Murder—Mystery & Crime Giveaway and The August Crime Giveaway. As usual, you get a free eBook for an email list signup. Hope you find something you like! Here’re the links:
