When the hunters become the hunted, life for law enforcement officials and their families turns upside-down. It takes months of long investigation by police, search and rescue dogs and their handlers to catch a suspected serial killer.

DEATH DEALER: How Cops and Cadaver Dogs Brought a Killer to Justice (New Horizon Press, September 2014) is a gripping true crime story of committed investigators from the United States and Canada and their cooperation in the relentless pursuit of a brutal murderer. It's intriguing from the moment David Tanasichuk reports his wife, Maria, missing. Explaining the ten-day delay in notifying authorities, David claims that he and Maria were having marital troubles and she had decided to take a break by leaving town. Suspense builds as lie after lie unravels. David's reputation for violence and drug abuse makes investigators take his veiled threats against them seriously.

Police, frustrated by a fruitless wintertime search through miles of frozen wilderness, finally enlist the aid of Maine game wardens along with cadaver dogs and their dedicated volunteer handlers. This Law and Order meets CSI drama culminates in a riveting courtroom drama. We hope you will feature DEATH DEALER, an enthralling true crime thriller that mixes deceit, danger and cadaver dogs in a race to find out what happened to Maria Tanasichuk before her killer can literally get away with murder.
