A performance for the ages.

Courtney Johnson brings the house down in the heart of the vibrant Dallas Arts District. Later, shrills pierce the hallways of Wyle Theater when Courtney, a budding Broadway musical star, is found dead, a single bullet to the head.

Driven to find the killer before panic tears apart the arts community and all those who support it, private investigator Booker T. Adams discovers evidence of a professional hit, then uncovers a lovers' triangle that takes him all the way to the mean streets of Boston.

And then it happens again. Another performer killed, someone Booker had met. Rocked by the shocking murders, performers and patrons alike fear that a serial killer is on the loose, and no one knows when and or where another dead body will show up.

But professional obligations quickly morph into personal vendettas. Running against an unforgiving clock, Booker is forced to solicit the help of a crime boss, The Shark.

With his life threatened at almost every turn, and his heart being put through a meat grinder, Booker taps into every resource at his disposal to stop more than just a killer.

But at what price?

Full of unforgettable characters, bone-chilling suspense and stunning thrills, BOOKER - Tap That is a wild ride that will test even the most fervent reader's quest for a luminous reading experience.

Fans of Alex Cross and Jack Reacher will enjoy this private investigator thriller novel full of suspense, action, and crime.

Q&A with author John W. Mefford:

Q: What made you want to write a private investigator series?

JWM: I've always had strong desire to write private investigator thriller novels. When I was young, I was drawn to books, TV shows, and movies that featured a private detective with a little bit of attitude, a rebellious streak so to speak, a determined, gritty soul who used every gift they possessed to solve the case, but for a higher purpose than just paying the rent. I enjoy private detective novels that know how to create and build suspense...and then deliver a mind-splitting thriller with plenty of crackling action.


Q: What can we expect out of the BOOKER Private Investigator Thriller Series of Crime and Suspense?

JWM: To put it simply -- a roller-coaster ride brimming with action and suspense. The characters are tested to their limits, Booker in particular, which adds all sorts of interesting layers to his evolution. There's always a bit of humor mixed in, along with a healthy dose of pulse-pounding thrills. Born in South Dallas, Booker is driven to do anything in his power to protect the mixed bag of people living in his city. But even with the best intentions, Booker is dragged into seedy situations, slammed into obstacles that seem insurmountable. The man's got substance, though, which make his thriller moments even more powerful.


Q: How many books are you planning to publish in the BOOKER Private Investigator Thriller Series of Crime and Suspense?

JWM: Six and a half. Sort of. Six full BOOKER private investigator thriller novels are planned for release in 2015 and I recently published a novella (considered Volume 2.5). After that, there could be more. I can envision at least two more stories.

Q: What's the recommended order to read the BOOKER Series?

JWM: The novels can be read as stand-alone, but I'd recommend reading them in the following order:
BOOKER - Streets of Mayhem (Volume 1)
BOOKER - Tap That (Volume 2)
BOILERMAKER - A Lt. Jack Daniels / Booker Mystery (Volume 2.5)
BOOKER - Hate City (Volume 3)
BOOKER - Blood Ring (Volume 4) - Coming soon
