The Unlikely Predator

A young lady's body washes up on the banks of the Missouri River in a small county in central Missouri.  The overburdened sheriff has more to do than try to solve a murder.  Finally, out of sheer despiration, he deputizes one of the murchants up on the square of the small county seat town of Cushing.  With his help they solve not only this murder, but also another one that had occured three years prior, in the same area.

A Navy veteran of WWII Hancock currently lives in Arkansas with his wife of 60 years. He spent 40 years with J.C. Penny Co. managing stores in Missouri and Arkansas, then spent the next 20 years operating a commercial real estate consulting firm out of his home. All his life he wanted to write novels so in January of 2005 he sat down at his computer and wrote Gotcha!, his first mystery story. He published it at age 80. It was a success, so it was quickly followed by The Unlikely Predator and 30 Days In May. Up On Crowley's Ridge is his fourth exciting murder mystery.
