Only one question needs to be asked:
IS HARRY HOLIDAY LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET AWAY WITH THE PERFECT MURDER?
Harry, like a lot of us, has been angry or backed against a wall enough times to think about killing someone.
Like most of us, his thoughts were nothing more than emotional and intellectual exercises.
Just like you and me, the fear of getting caught and his better self always won out.
Until now.
Now, Harry Holiday's better self lies in ruins. His world is crumbling around him.
Someone tried to murder Harry's father six months ago and left Dad in a coma. Someone is trying to steal what's left of the family fortune. Some people would like to see Harry dead, and they have no scruples about killing him.
Harry, a young, likable but out-of-control wheeler-dealer, is so desperate that pulling off the perfect murder seems like his only way out.
Can his harebrained scheme actually work? Will he go through with it? Will it save him and the once-famous, now-rundown family business-MurderLand-a museum of gangland and murder-related memorabilia?
Harry's beloved MurderLand is located in the heart of the old, tacky, casino and entertainment district in Niagara Falls. Along with the falls, the most popular natural wonder in North America, the museum was once one of the must-see sideshows for the twelve million annual visitors to this popular tourist mecca. Now, the iconic exhibition is close to folding, and Harry is at his wit's end trying to figure out how to win back the sightseers.
Fighting off loan sharks and forced to sell relics buried in the museum's basement to keep the doors open and impress a quirky young woman he can't live without, Harry's hopes soar when he thinks he may have discovered the perfect dupe to help carry out a flawless murder.
But Harry gets more than he bargains for in this fast-paced caper when he not only stumbles into the middle of another crime in progress but accidentally begins to uncover shocking new evidence in the basement of MurderLand that may tie together the building's past, the plot to assassinate a president, and Harry's own growing urge to kill.
After a thirty year absence, Shamus and Arthur Ellis nominee Joseph Mark Glazner is back, writing about some of his favorite themes-revenge, greed, conspiracy theories, love, hate, and desperate characters willing to commit murder. Writing from inside the head of Harry Holiday, Glazner has created one of the most unusual, enjoyable, and irreverent antiheroes you're ever likely to run across in fiction or real life.

Über den Autor
Joseph Mark Glazner is the internationally acclaimed American-Canadian author of seven crime novels written under his own name and his pen name, Joseph Louis, including the Shamus and Arthur Ellis nominated Madelaine (Bantam Books, NYC, 1987).
Life After America, his first memoir, is a personal and optimistic tale of life as a young writer and one of the first American resisters to go to Canada in the 1960s to protest the Vietnam War. Never a formal member of any anti-war group, Glazner's quest to think for himself and draw his own conclusions will resonate with many today in an increasingly dangerous and polarized world. His unusual, darkly humorous, coming-of-age tale brings to life the joy and pitfalls of falling in love in an era of sexual revolution, surviving in the big city while hunting for his first big break, and finding redemption helping John Lennon kick-start Lennon's and Yoko Ono's iconic WAR IS OVER campaign.
Glazner's eighth crime novel, MurderLand, his first in thirty years, is expected to be published in 2017.
In addition to crime writing and memoirs, Glazner has written for the movies (The Shape of Things to Come, 1979), run a think tank, and worked as a journalist, editor, and ghost writer for a variety of newspapers and periodicals, including the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, Sunday Express, Telesis, Omni, Cavalier, The Five Cent Review, Executive, and the notorious Montreal tabloid Midnight (now the Globe). For many years, he also worked as an independent communications adviser, forecaster, and speechwriter for senior executives in governments and corporations in Canada and the US in telecommunications, banking, and many other fields.
Glazner is a graduate of the University of Southern California (BA-psychology, magna cum laude, 1967) and a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. His formative years were spent in rural New Jersey. He lives in Toronto, Canada. He is busy finishing War Baby, his second memoir and the prequel to Life After America. About the early years of the counterculture in California (1963-1967), it includes his experiences during the Watts Riots, crisscrossing America by car and thumb, attending the world's first Love-In, and serendipitous encounters with iconic figures of the era-from poet and anti-war activist Allen Ginsberg and actress Edie Sedgwick to editor/publisher of The Realist Paul Krassner, Beatles insider Derek Taylor, and movie mogul Sam Arkoff.
