The Judas Hunter

Private eye Jack Burial's picture should appear in Funk and Wagnall's next to the entry for "loser: " Burial drives a clapped-out Chevy station wagon, is being divorced by his lawyer wife and has so few clients as an investigator that he's on the verge of eviction. He's so down-and-out that his cell phone has even been cut off. So when Burial gets hired to locate a businessman suspected of embezzling from his business partners, things seem to be looking up. All he has to do is find the fugitive -- while ducking the Mafia, a trigger-happy outlaw motorcycle gang and a federal prosecutor who wants to throw him in prison for interfering with her case. Will Burial succeed in finding the Judas he is tracing or end up betraying his own threadbare code of ethics? Cross is piled on double cross as the body count climbs in The Judas Hunter. "An utterly satisfying crime caper tale that left me wanting more. Buy it; it might encourage the author to pen more Jack Burial stories." Tim Stevens, author of Ratcatcher and Annihilation Myths " 'The Judas Hunter' is an absolute pleasure to read . . . One can only hope that Wallace writes more about Mr. Burial and his splendid misadventures." K. Patrick Conner, author of Dying Words
