Product Description

Product Description

When Death Row inmate Norman Howell drops a tidbit about how he and his father once helped the current Texas Governor get rid of competing Vietnamese fisherman with the use of high-powered explosives, Bill Travis has to decide whether to kick (and awaken) this particular sleeping dog, or whether to let it go. But then the Governor's men come calling for him, and all hell breaks loose.

Capitol Offense is the second novel in the Bill Travis Mysteries.

George Wier is the author of "Duckweed" (Lone Star Noir - Akashic Books, 2010) and The Last Call. For more information, visit the author's website at www.georgewier.com or the series website at www.billtravismysteries.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Capitol Offense is a criminally good read, 14 Dec 2011
This review is from: Capitol Offense (The Bill Travis Mysteries) (Kindle Edition)
George Wier's "Capitol Offense" is a not to be missed thriller. Bill Travis is a money man. The go to guy if you have money that needs to be invested but maybe hidden from uncle Sam, hidden but in a legal sort of way. In spite of being a money man he seems to find himself in sticky, potentially deadly situations. In this sequel to The Last Call, he stumbles upon a plot to assassinate the governor of Texas. With the help of a few old friends and a few colorful new friends he does whatever he can to undo that kicking of the sleeping dog he awoken.

If you like mysteries, if you like thrillers, if you like a page turner, then this is a book for you. Pick up your copy, along with its prequel, "The Last Call" and you are sure to be reading well into the night.

4.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed this mystery!, 30 Nov 2011

This review is from: Capitol Offense (The Bill Travis Mysteries) (Kindle Edition)
It is almost a capital offense not to read CAPITOL OFFENSE. With non-stop dramatic action, this novel of suspense has a plot as big as Texas itself. It is a very fast-paced read with quite interesting characters. One mystery turns into another, one twist after another, keeping the reader on edge, wondering just who the good guys and the bad guys might be. You think you have a clue, and you turn the page to find another surprise. For people who enjoy mysteries, which is most all of us, this novel is tailor-made for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Suspenseful, entertaining, some annoying errors, 14 Jan 2012
By Paul H. Frentzen "miles55" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Capitol Offense (The Bill Travis Mysteries) (Kindle Edition)
This book was a great read. I went through it quickly and found it difficult to put down. But like the other Bill Travis mysteries I've read, it is full of typos, grammatical errors and misused words. Where is a good editor when you need one? This is a very enjoyable series of books, and I recommend them, despite the mistakes that seem to run rampant. (a simple factual error is the description of a Buick Skylark as a long automobile...it was a compact for God's sake)
