FREE -- Of Mice and Murderers (Z-Detective Series - Book #1) [Kindle Edition]

Meet Big Bob Zapolska (Z for short), an unlicensed private eye who reads detective fiction for self improvement.

Low rent private eye that he is, Z does not usually get cases that turn into murder, to say nothing of multiple murder. Nor is he often called upon to help solve "classy" cases like the theft of a painting from Kansas City's Nelson Art Gallery. And never before has he run into something as spooky as the Bateman College "ghost light,' the light seeming, in some way, to be the key to these other crimes.

Big Bob Zapolska may be a loner. He may be a loser. He may, in fact, be a dangerous pyromaniac. But if someone has cheated you --- if someone is crowding you --- it's good to have the Z-man on your side!

Of further help to him are his personal beliefs:

- Never break the law --- unless you have to.
- Tell the truth when possible --- it's hard to remember lies.
- If you blackjack a man correctly, he will rarely suffer permanent brain damage.
- In the right hands [Z's], fire is an excellent motivator.
- To avoid temptation --- give in to it immediately.

Amazon.com Review

I think this is a very strong beginning to what could be an interesting book. If the writing stays as tight as that in the excerpt, the reader should be swept along. However, if there are too many instances of inconsistency, the reader will quickly become frustrated.

Amazon.com Review

A must read, especially for boys - a very hard audience to impress. It would be very easy to get teens to read writing of this caliber. Wonderful!
