The Murder Rule – OmegaBooks

The Murder Rule FREE PDF Download is Here!

It is October 3, 2023, and I have finally added The Murder Rule to the site as a FREE PDF download as well as added the “widget” to the novel on the right sidebar. Both the “about” page and the download page have been added-see menu above. Included in the “about” page (The Murder Rule FREE PDF) are links to excerpts from the first chapters of Parts One, Two, and Three to begin reading the novel. Soon, snippets from The Murder Rule will be added to the snippet page listing snippets from The Prodigal Band Trilogy as well. And hopefully as soon as possible (I have been very busy on various things lately including vehicle issues), the Omega Books blog will also be updated.

Cheers!

Excerpts from The Murder Rule, Part One, Chapter One

I have completed my new novel, The Murder Rule, to be published by OmegaBooks likely in either September or October, 2023, and to be copyrighted by myself, Deborah Lagarde, and to be registered at the Library of Congress soon. The genres it will be registered under will be Adult Fiction, Drama, Suspense, Spiritual, and perhaps one other. Unless I change my mind and decide to sell it through an online platform (such as Amazon), The Murder Rule will be posted as a FREE PDF download at this site, as with The Prodigal Band, which has well over one thousand downloads since stats have been recorded starting in 2019.

During this month, August, 2023, I will be posting excerpts (© Deborah Lagarde) from Chapter One of each of the three parts to The Murder Rule. In subsequent months I might post excerpts from other chapters from Parts One, Two and Three. With the excerpts will come necessary details regarding these excerpts and how these excerpts play into the parts as a whole or stem from the three novels that make up The Prodigal Band Trilogy of which The Murder Rule is a “spin-off” novel. However, I will not post entire chapters–they can be read by downloading the entire FREE PDF of The Murder Rule, if one so chooses.

The first excerpt begins Chapter One and features Part One’s victim, rocker Denny Spradlin of the fictional band Wolfin, a ‘friend’ and ‘advisor’ that is visiting him, and the Part One narrator, pop-culture pundit Lloyd Denholm, who writes for X-Zine, a magazine edited by an editing team known as ‘Cal.Edit.’ All of the characters in this chapter (and most in Part One) are British, including the writer of the mentioned ‘hand-written letter.’

Preface to The Murder Rule

A more rigorous Introduction to The Murder Rule is forthcoming.

Using three parts, with each part utilizing characters that make up support or main characters within The Prodigal Band Trilogy, this ‘spin-off’ novel attempts to expose what I have discovered to be a ‘conspiracy’—a truthful one—within the hallmarks of powerful institutions and industries, with focus on the entertainment industry. As with The Prodigal Band Trilogy, those within the entertainment or popular culture industries that fail to ‘toe the line’ set forth by the captains of those industries stand an excellent chance of being ‘cancelled,’ so to speak. Further, those on the fringes of these industries that expose the evil within these industries are also targets, which, in Part Two, includes a rock band roadie that also joins the same cult of which this band are members. Finally, those in industry ‘elite’ circles who turn against ‘the agenda’ of the ‘rulers’ of both the industry and the world in general, even those within elite family bloodlines, are not exempt from danger.

In this novel, I call this ‘danger’ ‘the murder rule.’

In the third novel of The Prodigal Band Trilogy, called The Prodigal Band, is the opening line of the novel—“If dead rock stars could talk.”

In other words, rock stars and others within the pop culture industry that turn against their ‘rulers,’ having realized they partook in evil activities on- and off-stage and inside and outside the recording studio and also partook in debauched lifestyles even to the point of life-crisis, have fallen victim to the consequences of no longer ‘toeing the line.’ Recent examples include Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington and Sound Garden’s Chris Cornell, both of whom, being close friends within rival bands, set out to expose pedophilia rings in and out of the entertainment industry, and more. The false ‘narrative’ claims they committed ‘suicide by doorknob.’ Can one truly hang themselves on a doorknob? I don’t think so! My conclusion is that both were murdered for wanting to expose pedophile rings. Unfortunately, dead rock stars cannot ‘talk.’ If they could, they would expose the truth of it.

But The Murder Rule also features characters affiliated with entertainers who know and want to expose the truth if the evil in the industry. One is a roadie and fan of the prodigal band who joins a cult only to leave the cult upon discovering its evil and thus risks ‘the murder rule.’ Another is the prodigal band manager who never truly went along with the evil agenda that happened to be ruled over by his own father!

To expose evil, but not by giving speeches or lectures or using the tools for videos. To expose evil by utilizing the writing talent God gave me…part of my ‘mission of God’ so to speak, is why I wrote this novel.

Hopefully, the Introduction will be completed by the end of June at the latest. Cheers!

Snippets-to-Spin-Offs: The Murder Rule, and More (Part Seven)—Reaching the Climax

In these final snippets from Part One of The Murder Rule I will post ‘the pre-climax’ so to speak, not revealing the name of the killer of rocker Denny Spradlin in early February, 1996. But this killer did know the man Denholm spoke with in the second snippet, a former rap superstar and record mogul himself, now living in fear for his life should he expose the true killer of Spradlin, among other reasons, such as betraying his oath to ‘the Order’ that Spradlin also betrayed and who suffered murder over it.

Denholm knew that this rap star named ‘Drakk’ was also in hiding, but did not know where. But he figured Drakk’s lawyer in the record label lawsuit that Drakk had lost, because the other side had threatened and bribed the judge to make sure Drakk’s side lost, would know where Drakk was. The lawyer’s name was Wilmont. Denholm made an appointment with Wilmont to find out where Drakk was.

Snippets-to-Spin-Offs: The Murder Rule, and More (Part Six)–The Plot Thickens

Hopefully, by mid-June, Part One of The Murder Rule will be completed (and then comes the editing part). It is mostly completed already. Part Two, featuring roadie Bobby Jones, is mostly completed but I need to manuscript the climax and leading up to the climax. Then comes Part Three and maybe, Part Four. The plan is to complete the entire novel, The Murder Rule, before the end of 2022.

This post is the one that leads up to the climax of Part One of The Murder Rule, where narrator and pop-culture pundit Lloyd Denholm begins to come to the conclusion through investigations as to who murdered fictitious rock star Denny Spradlin in early 1996.

Spradlin’s band mate Blake Fenmore has requested of the pop culture magazine X-Zine to have pundit and free-lancer Denholm to find out ‘who done it’ and how. The request was made in Spring, 2005. In this snippet, Denholm meets with Blake at his rock house in the Lake District of northwest England. Below is the snippet, copyright © 2022 by Deborah Lagarde:

Snippets-to-Spinoffs (Part Five): The Murder Rule Part One Meets Part Two

When novels are divided into parts or sequels or series, there always have to be connections from one part to another part, or the next part, or the sequel, or series or trilogy novels. And there must be connections to any novels of which they are ‘spun-off.’

The previous post entitled Proof that my new novel, The Murder Rule, is derived from my Prodigal Band Trilogy (Episode One), shows how the new novel is based on the trilogy. In this post, using characters that narrate Parts One and Two of The Murder Rule, there, too, are references to parts of The Prodigal Band Trilogy. The narrator of Part One of The Murder Rule is pop culture pundit Lloyd Denholm, who is the narrator of The Prodigal Band, and the narrator of Part Two is Bobby Jones, a prodigal band roadie minor character of both Battle of the Band and The Prodigal Band. Within a chapter for Part One of The Murder Rule, Bobby meets with Lloyd at Denholm’s apartment in the fictitious city of Richmont, California, in 2002, so he can reveal what he learned about the ‘suicided’ and murdered rocker, Denny Spradlin, that proves Denny was indeed murdered. The proof comes to Bobby from a prominent support character working for ‘the Good,’ the so-called ‘witch,’ Morwenna, who, along with God’s angels, the Tooters, guides the prodigal band Sound Unltd in their ‘missions of God.’ And a reminder: The Murder Rule is copyright by Deborah Lagarde and will be registered with the Library of Congress when officially published, hopefully, this year. Below is the snippet:

When Snippets Become Spin-Offs: The Murder Rule, and More (Part Four)

This snippet post continues from the previous Murder Rule snippet post featuring the beginning of Part Two of a new novel I am working on tentatively titled The Murder Rule. Part Two concentrates on a minor character from both Battle of the Band and The Prodigal Band, prodigal band follower and part-time roadie, Bobby Jones, who later helps the band carry out their ‘missions of God’ by giving them a song he wrote about Christ.

But as with the prodigal band Sound Unltd, Bobby is caught up in the occult, drugs and the party lifestyle, which is how he got connected to the band in the first place: as a part-time roadie. This snippet (© Deborah Lagarde) explains how he got into the ‘roadie’ ‘job’ in the first place, with a fictitious top American band.

Update On When Snippets Become Spin-offs: The Murder Rule (Part Two)

Within the previous post I had posted just this past Monday was this snippet line from the new novel manuscript I plan to publish:

“A hooded man has forced poison up my nose, not skuz. Pray for my soul. Denny.”

Jimi Hendrix was murdered in a somewhat similar fashion (but through the trachea, not the nose), as I state in this post from last year.

Hendrix, whose father was connected to the military as with Jim Morrison—another ’27 Club’ member who died under suspect circumstances—was politically tied to the Black Panthers and was being surveilled by a CoIntelPro CIA operation….and maybe that handler involved with this was his manager, Michael Jeffrey. Jeffrey had ‘intelligence ties and Mafia connections.’ Those intelligence ties include MI-6. But the likely reason Jeffrey could be implicated in Hendrix’s “suicide” was that he stole lots of money from Hendrix, who then sued Jeffrey—who just happened to have a 2 million dollar life insurance policy holding on Hendrix’s life as beneficiary! Right before the lawsuit trial, Hendrix “committed suicide.” While the media claimed “he choked on his own vomit” due to drug OD, evidence noted in the video states he had wine in his lungs, likely forced into his trachea while being held down forcefully…in other words, he drowned in wine. According to the video, Jeffrey “confessed” to a friend in the business that he was part of the murder.

By the way, I wrote that part about Denny’s murder before I learned about how Hendrix was murdered!
