The Killing Way

“There's nothing like seeing an old story through new eyes.  So, how about a murder mystery set in Camelot? King Arthur, Guinevere, Merlin and the rest of the gang are all here, but Tony Hays brings them to life anew, in a tale filled with twists and turns and surprises on every page. The joy of discovery will keep you reading long into the night.” --William Martin,  New York Times Best Selling author of The Lost Constitution. 

`This author knows his history and produces a first class, page turning tale. We shall doubtless hear much more of Tony Hays.'  - Peter Tremayne, bestselling author of the Sister Fidelma mysteries

“True to the magic of the Arthurian legend. The Killing Way is a
beautiful tale rich in character and atmosphere, and dark with
emotions old as time.” —HOWARD BAHR, AUTHOR OF PELICAN ROAD

"A vivid and original detective story, The Killing Way is an unusual
Arthurian murder mystery set against an evocative fifth century
background that is more genuine than the usual Arthurian fare.
Yes, it might actually have been like that.”
—GEOFFREY ASHE, LEADING ARTHURIAN SCHOLAR AND AUTHOR OF
MERLIN: THE PROPHET & HIS HISTORY.

“An exciting, suspenseful murder mystery, The Killing Way is an
excellent read.” —RICHARD TUERK, AUTHOR OF OZ IN PERSPECTIVE




The Trouble With Patriots
"A great little spoof.  A delightful tale of an American Candide abroad at the end of the 20th Century."
--Barbara Phillips, Publisher

  Bridge Works Publishing

"Tony Hays is a writer with a deep sense of the human condition and a saving sense of humor rare among the clouds of postmodernism.  Hays is a writer to watch."
--Howard Bahr, author of Black Flower, The Year of Jubilo, and The Judas Field

"I was thunderstruck by Tony Hays' The Trouble With Patriots.  I had a hard time putting the book down.  It might be labeled fiction, but it has the ring of truth to me.  It reads like Casablanca on speed."
--Charles C. Thompson II, author of A Glimpse of Hell and co-author of The Death of Elvis, Emmy Award-winning former 60 Minutes producer.

Murder in the Latin Quarter
"Vastly entertaining.  An absorbing, page-turning mystery ... a fascinating reconstruction of the literary golden age of 1920s Paris.  This is a book not to be missed."
Tom Kakonis, author of  Double  Down

"Hays' plot is believable; his ability to make characters grow and take hold is uncanny . . ..  It is a pleasure to add his name . . . to the list of Middle Tennessee mystery writers gaining national reputations."
The Nashville Banner

Murder on the Twelfth Night
"Excellent.  Very readable.  The characterizations and dialogue are strong points.  This is a new series from a promising author."
Voices of Youth Advocates


"There a million reasons to read this book.  Colorful characters, elaborate settings.  The Bard comes to life."
The Monitor, Tullahoma, TN
