I read Mary Willis Walker first book "Zero to the Bone" several weeks ago and was hooked on her. This Book introduces Molly Cates, a true crime author along with her daughter and ex husband policeman. Molly is convinced that the subject of her last book about a serial killers who writes poetry is innocent of the crime of which he is convicted. I like her books because it is almost impossible to figure out the guilty person, she also has a good personal story line for her characters. If you love mysteries, ck this author out.

Molly Cates, a crime writer in Austin, Tex., is planning to cover the execution of doggerel-writing serial murderer Louie Bronk, whose five-year killing spree is the subject of Molly's recently published book. But Charlie McFarland, whose wealthy wife, Tiny, was Louie's last victim and who has since remarried, wants the past left buried, suggesting fresh publicity will threaten the stability of his grown daughter, who was 11 at the time of her mother's murder.

This was a great read. I have read all of her books and found them to be excellent.
Unfortunately, she has not written a book in quite some time. I googled her name but could not find what happened to her.
I highly recommend any and all books that this author wrote!!!

Tough, stubborn, and relentless as the oil drills that hammer her native Texas landscape, Molly Cates writes about death for "Lone Star Monthly". The subject of her first book was Louie Bronk, a.k.a. the Texas Scalper, a brutal serial killer scheduled for execution. In a macabre gesture, Bronk has invited Molly to his last day on earth along with several of his final victim's relatives. With the execution only days away, Cates figures to write the last chapter on her disturbing relationship with the most evil human being she has ever known. Little does she expect she will face pressure to back off the story rom the most unlikely sources: her boss at "Lone Star Monthly" and the husband of the woman whose murder got Bronk the death penalty. Then comes the poem from an anonymous letter writer whose lines contain a chilling message:
Now that Louie's doomed to die
I may give his craft a try
And when the first body turns up, Molly is forced to consider that Louie Bronk might be executed for the wrong reason--and that a second killer is on the loose.
