Synopsis

Not your usual ‘whodunit’ mystery. Not your typical police procedural. Not traditionally paranormal or horror. But an intriguing combo of all that, and then some.

A deviant serial killer on the loose. An investigative reporter, she’s tough and smart. A hardnosed detective who won’t give up. A freelance photographer who saw the horror in his head. You won’t see this hard-boiled crime thriller coming.

“Quirky, supernaturally afflicted degenerate of an antihero...loved it! You have to stare at the wreck till the last bloody twist…there is no turning away from this plot. Will definitely be reading more…with morbid curiosity.”

Dangerous. Dark. Different. A captivating read for fans of James Lee Burke, Cormac McCarthy, and Stephen King.

As seen on NBC, Dark Side of Sunset Pointe was inspired by real events, one of the stand-alone novels in this new breed of mystery thrillers.

“Mystery. Intrigue. Touches of the paranormal. This book has it all—a fast paced page-turner with twists and turns along the way.”

The Lance Underphal Mystery Thriller series will keep you up nights guessing. Try a thriller with teeth. Take a walk on the Dark Side.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A contemporary mystery and thriller—a paranormal mystery, to be more precise—for hardboiled mystery fans, penned by a "writers' mystery writer." This murder mystery twists and turns like a dragon kite in a high wind.

Mystery connoisseurs, beware. You have no clue. New and different, the first book in the Lance Underphal Mystery series will keep you guessing . . .

A Paranormal Mystery - Lance Underphal was devastated by his wife’s death, and now, the down-and-out crime-scene photographer can’t let her go. He wakes up plagued by premonitions. The double shooting of an Arizona real estate developer and his mistress/bookkeeper immerse Underphal in a world of incomprehensible phenomena and it's anything but pleasant.

The Hardboiled Detective - Frank Salmon, the homicide detective on the case, does his best to blow off Underphal’s “visions.” But the murders keep piling up and the visions are all-too real.

Sex and Money/Lust and Greed - The trail goes cold until a double homicide at a fast food drive-thru takes a u-turn back to the dead developer and a martial arts instructor's kinky wife. Salmon reluctantly pursues Underphal’s cryptic clues, leading him from a popular strip club to a failing community bank, adding a blackmailing stripper’s murder to the body count.

Thrill Ride - With Underphal pointing the way, Salmon hunts for a key piece of evidence and the common link between the killings – a custom offroad truck. Instead of clearing the case, the truck takes off, dragging Salmon into a high-speed chase, leaving a freeway pileup in its wake.

Suspense Builds - Underphal struggles mightily with his psychic curse, teetering on the brink of insanity. His only hope for redemption is the voice in his head, the voice of his dead wife. Stumbling through dark vortexes of murderous intrigue, he comes to realize his visions will either kill him or lead to the capture of a killer-maybe more than one.

Author Comments:

“I strive to expose crime for what it is, exploring all aspects of the human condition and the often bizarre reactions of people coping with crime's devastation.”

"My job, as I see it, is to surprise you—weave a mysterious tale . . . more entertaining than you are expecting."
