Mystery Private Eye
Some cases test a private investigator’s wits, others test
his courage, and still others, his character. In
Salvation Boulevard, P.I. Carl Van Wagener has
found a case that tests them all, and then goes on to test
his soul. A professor is dead and a suspect—who has
confessed—is in custody. But nothing is what it seems.
After all, the dead man is an atheist professor, the
accused an Islamic foreign student, the defense attorney a
Jew, and the detective a Born Again Christian. As Carl
gets deeper and deeper into the investigation of the death
of professor Nathaniel MacLeod, his most basic beliefs and
relationships are tried and his world is turned upside
down. The mega-church, the pastor, and his new wife who
have redeemed Carl from a life of grim debauchery insist
on his dropping the case. But he can’t stop searching for
the real killer and the truth—no matter what the personal
cost. Salvation Boulevard is a page-turning
thriller in the tradition of John Grisham and Richard
Condon that grapples with the ecstatic and entropic nature
of religious faith in contemporary America.
