The Branson Butcher Peter C Molloy

The Branson Butcher is the story of a crusty, semi-retired, old disenchanted detective from Chicagoland who ends up in the music town of Branson, MO. Despite his best efforts, Mike Monaghan finds himself in the thick of one of the biggest murder investigations in history as a serial killer has obviously come to the Ozarks. As the murders increase, Mike is asked by the local Sheriff to try and enlist the help of a psychic from rural northern Arkansas as he claims it is their best shot at catching the "Butcher."Mike and the psychic, Nicholas Meehan, along with local police officer Wayne Dilfer pursue the killer. It is obvious very quickly that the maniac also has very acute abilities and the skills necessary to effectively disguise and "cloak" himself. The trio chase the madman through the streets of Branson and the hills and hollers of the Ozark Mountains as the murders pile up one after the other.
