ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 5, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- When murder strikes, the quest for truth can often be twisted with lies, manipulation, and ulterior motives. A suspenseful tale of murder and mystery surrounding an air crash is all set to unravel as Xlibris announces the release of Wild Blue Murder, a compelling new book featuring the storytelling talents of authors Donald Young and Bernard Nolan.

After meeting with several suspects, Welch and Alberto Zagame, an irascible local attorney, find a briefcase at the crash scene that leads them into a complex web of evidence and relationships as the investigation unfolds on two continents. An apparent suicide is thought to provide answers, but an autopsy reveals that death also to be murder which gives Welch a clue as to who the killer is.
