Dead Awakening — John Luciew

TWO FULL-LENGTH MYSTERIES, ONE BLOCKBUSTER SERIES. When Lenny Holcomb is on the beat, death is only the beginning of the story... Reporter Lenny Holcomb speaks for the dead. He tells their final stories. He writes their obituaries. After decades on the obit desk, Lenny has learned to uncover something else - the dying secrets of the deceased. This sends him back into the streets with a shrewd mind and a recharged sense of purpose - namely, to take down the politically connected power brokers in Pennsylvania's crooked capital city. With the help of ambitious reporter Jacquelyn "Jack" Towers, Lenny follows a trail of political spin and backroom corruption to the highest levels of Pennsylvania government - where the right influence can make any problem disappear. Unfortunately, some very powerful people think Lenny Holcomb has just become a problem. And the odds against Lenny ever finding the truth couldn't be higher. Author John Luciew plumbs the depths of power, politics and the press in this updated and unabridged collection of the Complete Lenny Holcomb Mysteries. The result is a gripping, nail-biting race for the truth. Can Lenny put the politically-charged pieces together in time? Or will the last obituary he pens be his own? It's a rip-roaring political yarn with an authentic, torn-from-the-headlines feel. You won't be able to put it down.
