Murder on Camelback Mountain (Herb Nash Mysteries) (Volume 1)
When he thinks he’s about to keep an important business appointment in lawyer Lamar Madison’s cramped Phoenix law office HERB NASH finds himself shaking hands with a homicide detective who suspects them both of brutally murdering James Olivette, aka Jim B—small time con-artist and only son of one of the city’s wealthiest widows. The detective tells them Jim B’s dismembered body parts were discovered earlier that morning splayed around a storm drain in the heart of an exclusive Camelback Mountain neighborhood. It gets personal for HERB NASH when the detective tells them both that their business cards were found tucked inside the dead man’s shirt pocket, making them the only “persons of interest” and potential suspects in the Jim B murder investigation. Lamar convinces HERB NASH to fire up his PI license intended only for skip-tracing dead beat dads and credit criminals, and HERB NASH reluctantly uses it to open up doors in search of more likely persons of interest to keep the police busy and off his back. In the process he twice escapes a brutal death, takes down the most unlikely psychopathic killer, and discovers a startling secret about himself.

Humorous and Suspenseful By J. Ahearn on August 25, 2013 Format: Paperback Amazon Verified Purchase I love the humor in this murder mystery. I couldn't figure out who committed the murder until the very end. Herb Nash is a colorful and fun character. What a delightful and suspenseful story. I understand there will be other Herb Nash stories to come and am anticipating them. Love the Herb Nash character By Juliana Myres on August 25, 2013 Format: Paperback Amazon Verified Purchase Herb Nash is a fully realized character operating in my own home town of Phoenix, AZ, and mentions many different places I have actually been to. Being an aging baby-boomer like myself, he still out-smarts the system and has enough hutzpa to go after a serial killer - with a sense of humor. Made me wonder where Herb Nash has been all these years.
