Lee Capp just hit a home run Is this story fantasy or a look at the future? Jules Verne's classic '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' or the comic book hero Dick Tracey's two way wrist radio were considered fantasy so...maybe Mr. Capp's story is what will be in the future. I like Indie' authors just because of this story. Fresh ideas well thought out and well presented. Fast paced, great characters and wonderful, believable dialogue. Now for the bad news. This story is so well laid out that I refuse to subtract any stars for the editing errors. Yes there are a few sentences that have correct words (spell check says so right?) but cause the sentence to make no sense. However, the most blatant error (s) are the missing quote marks throughout the story. My advice to the author is spend a day or two and carefully edit this book and resubmit the updated version, if not, there are reviewers that will give this great story low star reviews. Good story terrible writing Story was very interesting but the writing.was poor and quite distracting. could be really good with major edits. if you can overlook the writing you will like the story. Loved it! the book was terrific. I recognized copper mug and loon lake as I lived in the area at one time so it was nostalgic for me. story was good,good humor and romance. I enjoyed the main character. Great read Had a hard time putting it down. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. I can't wait for the next book in series. wow finally This book is NOT for the *Faint of Heart* Shut off your cell phone, you will not want any one to bother you while you are reading this book! Put this one on you reading list at the top. Cannot wait for the next one!
When an old Spokane serial killer cold case becomes red-hot again in the small town of Bellevue, Washington, Chief of Police Howard J. Carter is forced to join forces with ex-partner and arch enemy Johnny O'Brien, a retired Police Department Homicide Detective, now a writer of tawdry crime novels. Together Carter, O'Brien, beautiful young Police Officer Linh Zhou, and handsome and mysterious time-traveling watch- maker Matt McCabe, team up to track down a brutal and ruthless killer, apparently back from the dead, before his body count can reach dizzying new heights. Can this unlikely team of heroes and misfits end this reign of blood and terror and uncover old crimes and dirty secrets from decades past and present before it's too late? Join in on the fun and the action in the first of THE WATCHMAKER series, Time Enough To Die, and find out. Lee Capp was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1949, back when the Motor City was the crown jewel of the Midwest, and center of the manufacturing might of America. Raised on motors and Motown and brought up in a tiny suburb called Walled Lake, he had a very misspent youth focused on rock and roll music, amusement parks, good friends (some of which were even girls) movies, golden age television shows and fortunately lots of really good books. Personal favorites among them were the popular anthologies of Alfred Hitchcock and Dorothy Sayers and the crime novels of Ellery Queen and Mickey Spillane. In addition to being a life-long writer of what he calls ?Unsold and un-sellable dumb stupid stuff" Capp has worked in many fields during his long career, including a short but very interesting stint as an apprentice embalmer in a Tucson, Arizona funeral home and a fish monger in Seattle, Washington. The fish selling he has said was equivalent to an advanced college degree in the study of human nature. Johnny O'Brien is a compilation of Capp himself, who descends from Irish, Scottish and English farmers, fishermen and lumberjack immigrants, and he says, a number of other (verbally at least) bad-assed friends of his youth. Capp says that ?if we all were even a tenth as tough as we thought we were, we could have ruled the World.? Lee Capp and his wife Bea, retired at last from the workaday world, now reside among the pines, ponds and streams outside Seattle, Washington, where he continues to see just how much trouble he can get Johnny O'Brien and Matt McCabe into the next time around.
