This is from the Bay Observer newspaper in Hamilton, Ontario, for Feb. 4. Don Graves, the reviewer, is a well-known critic in Canada:

A police procedural with more than a few twists and curves. Chief Luke McWhorter is both a Chief in small town Flagler Texas as well a PhD vicar.

Flagler is chocked full of activity: experimental science labs, universities, religious colleges, loads of Mexican – Chinese food emporiums and crime.

Two pilots are found brutally murdered in a small transport airport chewed up by a propeller. The Chief also has a girlfriend, a local FBI agent doing under-cover work and a faithful deputy, Charles Del Emma, known as Chuck.

What’s at stake beside 2 chewed up pilots? A missing 4,000 year old mummy destined for a spot in a new Disney style entertainment centre.

ECW Press strikes gold with Dudley Lynch. The writing paces like a page turner you can’t put down. There’s a real feel touch to the town, its characters and the energy. The plot flies like an airplane and finally lands with a crafty and superb ending. Need a change during Covid. “One Good and Deadly Deed” delivers like they do in Texas.
