The Body in the Hole - Jonathan Zeitlin
- Book One of the Undertaker Series
The Body in the Hole is a hilarious tale featuring Geny (from Yvgeny, with a hard G-sound), an unlikeable and morally ambiguous mortician and Sherlock Holmes aficionado who lives with his mother in his mortuary in middle-Georgia.
Geny’s antics begin when he finds a headless corpse dumped in a grave meant for a paying customer.
He finds a nice watch on the body, which he liberates for himself before calling the police.
With his love for Sherlock Holmes and inflated ego, Geny estimates his chances of solving the crime are far higher than those of the detectives, so he begins his own parallel investigation.
Yvgeny teams up with a motley assortment of not always like-minded characters in this small Georgia town, trying to stay one step ahead as the detectives close in. The local talent includes the mentally deficient one-eyed owner of the army-navy surplus store and the local doctor/deputy coroner who is a recovering hippie with a Tom Selleck fetish.
In the middle of everything, Yvgeny falls for the crude and vulgar granddaughter of an old man buried in his cemetery. She is turned off by his bizarre fashion and strange interests, but Yvgeny is persistent. Will he solve the crime? Will he get the girl? Read and find out!
