The good and the dead -- what does it mean? Don't even try to guess.  Ben Newman, a writer of true-detective stories, has written about scores of murders and thinks he has seen it "all" -- until he's confronted with the murders of adults from his old neighborhood whom he hasn't seen since childhood. It begins with the body of his brother's wife found floating in the family swimming pool. Suspicion immediately centers, with good reason, on Ben's brother, a physician. But then Ben -- who has always looked on murder as something that happened to "other people," finds himself confronted with a series of strange deaths: among them a pharmacist he'd known since kindergarten, and a woman whom he'd kissed in the moonlight on a long-ago school trip.  In this, his eleventh novel, Edgar-finalist Seymour Shubin akes us on a bizarre journey through several murders that eventually come to reflect on our own humanity. This is a novel, a rarity in psych/suspense mystery fiction, that combines truly unforgettable characters with pure action.

"The Captain slept fitfully, kept waking from dreams he couldn't remember. The one he finally woke from in the morning left him frightened, but he didn't know why. He calmed down, however, when he recalled that this wasn't unusual. Sometimes, maybe three times, this would happen in the morning after an execution. "Soon he was fine. The two of them were gone; he had helped make the world a little better again." Captain Hughes was once a legendary member of his local police department. But now - reduced by dementia and a family tired of him - he is left to spend his final days in a nursing home. Yet one thing still drives the Captain. . . the need for justice. "'The Captain' is a heart-breaking account of dementia but, as with all of Shubin's books, it's not just a great crime novel, it's a great novel." --- Steve Hussy (Introduction to 'The Captain')
