I'm new to Jonathan Mayberry, but I will certainly be on the look-out for more of his books. I ordered the sample of this short story(25 pages) and loved his writing!  His character of Sam Hunter is one of the smoothest talking private investigators s since Jim Rockford of the Rockford files.  He's smart, competent, and warm & fuzzy in a very unusual way.  Once he takes on your case, you're 'like part of the family'.The story starts off with a delicate blonde asking Hunter to help her keep her ex-husband at bay.  A husband who's gone from being a buff, well-groomed club owner, to a skinny, bad-tempered man with a secret.Hunter follows the ex-husband into a club called the Crypt where the P.I. learns things he could only imagine exist.  I can't tell you anymore, but there's a nice twist to the story, making this suspense novel stand out from the others.I hope Mayberry has written a full-length version using Hunter as his main character because I simply love this man's voice.  The way he turns a phrase is a joy to read.  It's humorous and dead-on at interpreting life.
