The Man From Yesterday — Seymour Shubin

Edgar Allen Poe Award winning mystery writer Shubin has written an “unusual and remarkably moving mystery” (Booklist). Detective Jack Lehman is a character worthy of a Clint Eastwood movie, especially when he squints and seems not to comprehend something unbelievable and the guns start blazing. Lehman is a retired detective called back to work when an anonymous phone caller tips him off to a half-million dollar heist. Only problem is, when Lehman informs his old cohorts at the prescient about the crime, he can't remember any of the details. Is it early Alzheimer's setting in? Lehman's friends and family think so, and they try to reign him in. The tale unfolds like a psychological thriller, and Lehman ultimately gets his man and becomes vindicated at the end of this exciting and suspenseful book.
