]]> Oklahoma author Michael Wallis has penned a new book on the life and times of Davy Crockett. Dispelling myths, finding the truth and examing the remarkable life of an American giant, amid the backdrop of frontier expansion.

(Booklist.) Wallis’ examination of the man behind the myth is both well written and engrossing.

Of course, Oklahomans know Wallis is a born storyteller and a good one. So it’s no surprise he is able to masterfully tell the true story behind the legendary figure, David Crockett, American frontiersman and icon.

And since we’re on the subject of Tulsa authors, James Patrick Hunt has a new Evan Maitland book, Get Maitland.  So right under our nose is a prolific mystery writer with three series characters and plenty of good summer reading.

George Hastings is a St. Louis (Missouri) Homicide Detective.

Evan Maitland is a former Chicago cop who owns an antique business.

 Daniel Bridger is a thief who works high dollar scores.*Crime Novelists
