Author Michael Allan Scott introduced down and out freelance photographer, Lance Underphal as a crime fiction protagonist to readers of the mystery/thriller genre in his first book, “Dark Side of Sunset Pointe.”
In the recently released second Lance Underphal mystery, “Flight of the Tarantula Hawk”, Lance Underphal attempts to bury his psychic curse alongside his troubled past. But as the wasp-ridden nightmares begin to plague him, Lance knows his struggles with the supernatural are far from over.
Meanwhile, recovering from a psychotic break, Realtor Carla Simon has her first showing in nearly eighteen months. When her buyer pins her against the wall, it turns out to be the last house she’ll ever show.
Lance comes face to face with the murderer fresh from a kill as his dead wife Sonja whispers words of warning in his ear. It’s then he discovers the murderer is stalking him. Lance’s only shot at redemption—face the horror and reveal its source.
It’s not really surprising that “Flight of the Tarantula Hawk” has emerged as Mystery Lovers’ Book Club Pick.
The third Lance Underphal thriller, Grey Daze, is in pre-publication and due for release later this year.
