The brutal murder of an IRS revenue officer and the defense of the alleged killer is the subject of author William Manchee's new mystery novel, "Deadly Distractions."

Since the release of his first book in 1997 William Manchee has written and published ten books. His Stan Turner Mystery novels have gained international acclaim and boast an avid fan base who is anxiously awaiting his latest book, "Deadly Distractions," on August 1, 2004.

(PRWEB) July 23, 2004 -- In this latest thriller, Stan defends a client, Dusty Thomas, accused of killing an IRS agent and is quickly caught in the middle of a firefight between the radical Citizens Defense Alliance and the FBI. Since the CDA denies the legitimacy of the federal income tax and has been a target of federal prosecutors for many years, Stan and his partner come under the close scrutiny of the FBI and the press.

To further complicate matters, Stan's best client and close friend, Tex Weller, is reported missing by his wife. Stan's investigation into his disappearance leads him to Ecuador, where he quickly vanishes! With Stan missing, his partner Paula is left with the full burden of Dusty's defense. Sick with worry about Stan's well being, she plods along relentlessly trying to prove Dusty's innocence before it is too late.
