First Mike Lee gave us Spiv, an honorable gentleman's thief in a land long ago.  Then he gave us Vince and Fey, an intergalactic gambler and his sidekick in a distant future.Now Mike Lee brings us Matt.What can you say about Matt?  He's a normal guy with a really unusual job.  You see, after someone has violently died, Matt gets to hook them up to a Z-pack (an amazingly potent mix of adrenaline, amphetamines, steroids, and a bunch of other nasty stuff) and the recently deceased come back to life for 15-30 minutes so the police can interview them.Really, what could possibly go wrong?If you like zombie books, this is an amazing and different point of view, almost good zombie vs. bad zombie.  Then there's the third zombie, the evil zombie, but to give any more detail would be a significant plot spoiler.If you don't like zombie books, then trust me when I repeat the book's subtitle - this is not your average zombie story.  If I had to pigeonhole it into a category, then medical thriller/adventure/mystery would be one option.But like he did in his previous books; Mike Lee redefines the genre, so you know you are in for a great read.  You will enjoy getting to know Matt Freeman and Frankie Eppelito as they navigate their way through situations and adventures in a book that will keep you up past your bedtime.Disclaimer/disclosure - The author and I have become good pen-pals since we started corresponding after I read his first book.  Mike asked me to read and comment on a pre-release manuscript a few weeks before publication and I am even recognized in the acknowledgement section at the beginning of the book,  so I can't claim to be completely unbiased.  But if the book wasn't a fantastic read, I certainly wouldn't write a five-star review.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
