The Lazarus Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 2 ratings

The Bay Area is a sinister, living, breathing entity with a wicked sense of humor. James Bill, Private Investigator, spends most of his time chasing around cheating spouses, but this is all about to change when a mysterious woman enters his office, leaving behind an envelope with an old pawn ticket. No instructions, just a ticket and the name of a pawn shop. The mystery thickens when the woman ends up dead in the basement of his building, wrapped like a mummy in thick cobwebs.

James decides to take backup in Jose, a San Francisco Detective Lieutenant, when he attempts to cash in the old ticket. Little does he realize they are about to embark on a quest neither one may survive. Each clue, each discovery, leads them to a bigger challenge, and more madness. It’s a sinister web they must fight to untangle before the whole city comes crashing down around them.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

A prolific writer of humor and engaging mysteries, W.H. Matlack has written many short stories, plays, Children's books, and graphic novels/stories (OK, comic books of which seven have been published). He now focuses on writing full-length novels. Among them are: "Noir Town," "Waiting to Run," "The Memory Walker," "Dronefire," and "Grin of the Krocodle." He has completed a sixth novel, "The Lazarus," which is scheduled for publishing in 2020.

He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and cat. When asked what he does for a living, he replies that he "writes books." When pressed for more detail he might say, "I think of myself as being a direct descendant of the primitive story teller. A hairy, skinny, stinky guy whom everyone would turn to after a day of hunting, cooking over an open fire and gorging themselves on greasy meat and say, 'Tell us a story, and we'll let you live another day.'"

    An engaging mystery with murders, hidden treasure and unique characters set in America's most exciting and scenic city. A private eye with a close friendship with a high ranking SFPD officer becomes involved in a historical, international crime with roots in China, Taiwan and Africa. I recommend it.
