The Woke and the Dead - Paperback

The Governor vs. Theme Park = Murder

A public war between a governor and a theme park lights the fuse on an explosive story of murder, hate groups, corruption, bigotry, and political espionage.

Ex-cop turned theme park cab driver Lyle Deming finds the body of a park visitor during an LGBTQ event. The dead man catered gay weddings. Was it a hate crime?

Arizona Governor Rod Gudgel calls it a random shooting. He mocks Nostalgia City theme park for its inclusiveness, uses racial and homophobic slurs, and challenges the safety of park rides.

When more deaths ensue, park VP Kate Sorensen joins Lyle in a scramble to solve the murderers and shut up or shut down the governor.
