New Mystery Series is Launched

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ When asked about solitary confinement in an Arizona felony block, Scott said, "Some things are better left a mystery." Yet he admits to drawing on life's darker experiences to create his mystery novels.

If Goodreads reviews are any indication, readers are kept guessing, unable to put down these new and different mysteries. Paranormal twists and fast action in movie-like scenes set these mysteries apart from the typical whodunits and serial-killer thrillers. Their intricate plotting gets 5-star acclaim, pushing the envelope in the mystery, thriller, and suspense genres.

Lanced Underphal is a down-and-out freelance photographer haunted by his dead wife. He finds himself plagued with psychic visions, and ends up reluctantly working with a local homicide detective.

Dark Side of Sunset Pointe opens the Arizona author's Lance Underphal Mystery series. It's not so much a book as it is a mystery movie in book form. Dark Side of Sunset Pointe is not a true hardboiled crime novel, but it's dark and riddled with crime. It's not a full-fledged paranormal mystery- no vampires, werewolves, or zombies- but it delves into the supernatural. It's based on real-life events with an odd cast of corrupt characters who play out themes of greed and power, which culminate in their violent deaths. Tough and gritty, it delivers its R-rated thrills with a paranormal twist.

The second Lance Underphal Mystery, Flight of the Tarantula Hawk features the largest and deadliest wasp on the planeta fitting metaphor for a twisted murder mystery. It's similara thriller with a paranormal twist, yet it's new and different. Its character line-up shifts, featuring a 6'6", 247 lbs. ex-SEAL private investigator and a new psycho killer. The grim journey takes Lance on a rollercoaster ride through bank foreclosures, Goth-fests, and insane asylums. Balancing character and plot-driven action with elements of suspense, its style leans toward the visual. Readers experience the emotions and sensations of a great movie.

Soon to be released, the third mystery novel in the series, Grey Daze, takes a fresh murder and spins it into new realms of gritty realism, paranormal mystery, and international intrigue. Lance finds himself on a wild ride through a criminal underworld, slamming face first into corrupt police, a gunrunning biker gang, and a drug-addicted killernot to mention chilling confrontations with the dead. There are layers of plots within plots that twist this new thriller into a startling climax.

When asked how he keeps the age-old mystery genre new and interesting, Scott said, "Mostly, I improvise. Sometimes the stories are police procedurals; other times they are paranormal thrillers. Like good jazz, they are a melding of styles and themes. With each new novel, I work to expand the boundaries of the mystery thriller genre."
