"The Undertaker" is a fast-paced contemporary suspense thriller now availanble on Amazon Kindle. Pete Talbott is a native Californian and harried Boston Computer wonk, still greiving over the tragic death of his wife; when he finds himself at the wrong end of Gino Parini's .45 reading his own obituary torn from that morning's newspaper. He figures it is all a big mistake until Parinio shows him his wife's obituary too, and that's a mystery Talbott can't leave well-enough alone. From a funeral home in Ohio, to car chases on the Dan Ryan, snipers in New York City's Washington Square, sleazy lawyers, corrupt County Sheriffs, mafia hitmen, the FBI, an army of Chicago cops, and an unforgettable scene in the upper berth of a rocking cross-country Amtrak Train, "The Undertaker" is a thrill ride with a touch of humor and romance. Someone with a scalpel and an embalming table is planting bodies under other people's names; and if Talbott doesn't stop them, he and his quirky new girlfriend, Sandy Kasmarek will be next on the undertaker's list.
