In this story, Detective Ethan Grant mysteriously receives a letter from his supposedly deceased informant, the appropriately named Lazarus. The eerie note informs Grant of a complex web of crime known as the Order, a thriving and evil entity operating in the underbelly of New York City. Grant enlists rival Evelyn and colleague Reed to help him take the Order down, but is the job too big for them alone? And who can they really trust?

This novella is ideal for fans of mysteries, thrillers, and/or suspense. Fun and fast-paced with a plot that is exciting but easy to follow, it’s the ultimate palate cleanser for anyone looking to take a break from long, heavy reads. Author Henry Bruce has pulled off no great literary feat, but that’s not the purpose of this book; The Final Clue Solving the Mystery is meant to be read for fun, and it is more than successful in that regard. This is apparently going to be a series, and I look forward to the next installment.
