Joseph Glazner is one interesting guy…if you don’t believe me, check out his 2017 memoir, Life After America. But wait: his latest release, MurderLand, sounds awesome, too. The only solution is to buy both books!

Book Genre: Thriller/suspense/caper

Synopsis: Harry Holiday is back in town, and he needs to hire a killer.
Harry’s world is crumbling around him. His better self lies in ruins. Someone tried to kill his father six months ago and left Dad in a coma. Someone is trying to steal what’s left of the family fortune. The same people would like to see Harry dead, and they have no scruples about killing him.
Harry, a young, likable but out-of-control wheeler-dealer, is so desperate that pulling off the perfect murder seems like his only way out.
Can his harebrained scheme actually work? Will he be lucky enough to get away with it? And will it save him and the once-famous, now-rundown family business—MurderLand—a museum of gangland and murder-related exhibits?
MurderLand, located in the heart of the old, tacky, casino and entertainment district in Niagara Falls, was once one of the must-see sideshows for the twelve million annual visitors to this popular tourist mecca. Now, the iconic exhibition is close to folding, and Harry is trying to figure out how to win back the suckers.
Forced to sell relics buried in the museum’s basement to keep the doors open and impress a quirky young woman he can’t live without, Harry’s hopes soar when he thinks he may have discovered the perfect dupe to help carry out a flawless murder.
But Harry gets more than he bargains for in this fast-paced caper when he not only stumbles into the middle of another crime in progress but accidentally begins to uncover shocking new evidence in the basement of MurderLand that may tie together the building’s past, the plot to assassinate a president, and Harry’s own growing urge to kill.

This looks great. As does his memoir. I was worried I would have to head to Canada at one point. But I was only eligible the last year of the draft lottery and I had a high number. I’ll have to check it out.
Hi Haris, in that case, I think you would really like his memoir. Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
Not sure if this post went through the first time, so I am re-posting this. Thanks, Judy, for your posts. They help keep us informed about the best mysteries out there. Thank you for including me.
My pleasure, Joseph!
