Portland, OR -- For Immediate Release -- Lean Press, a fiction book publishing company located in Portland, Oregon, announces the release of Deadly Distractions, the fifth in William Manchee's well-known Stan Turner mysteries.

Since the release of his first book in 1997 William Manchee has written and published ten books. A lawyer by trade, his Stan Turner Mystery novels have gained international acclaim and boast an avid fan base who is anxiously awaiting his latest book, Deadly Distractions.

In this latest thriller, Stan defends a client accused of killing an IRS agent and is quickly caught in the middle of a firefight between the radical Citizens Defense Alliance and the FBI.

To further complicate matters, Stan's best client and close friend, Tex Weller, is reported missing by his wife. Stan's investigation into his disappearance leads him to Ecuador, where he quickly vanishes! His partner Paula desperately races to find Stan, whom she suspects is a victim of foul play, and help prove his client's innocence before it is too late.

Other Stan Turner Mysteries include: Undaunted, Brash Endeavor, Second Chair, Cash Call.

In addition to being a prolific writer, Manchee is also an avid traveler, visiting more than 183 cities in the United States to promote his books.

Hale, Agatha Winner and co-author of Red Card, A Zeke Armstrong Mystery.

"Manchee spins a good yarn, and Stan Turner is a believable, likable character that I plan to read about again and again." Chris Rogers, author of Rage Factor.
