REBEL WITHOUT A CORPSE by Michael P. Naughton, edited by Donna Novak.

    Deathryde: Rebel Without a Corpse Digs Up a Good Review

"If you have a taste for slambang satire that plays games with the names of dead celebrities
from James Dean to Barbara Stanwyck and a hearse driver with the marvelous name of Coffin Joe,
Michael P. Naughton's Deathryde: Rebel without a Corpse (Gilded Hearse Press, $12.95, 183 pages),
is your kind of book. It's the story of a gang of criminal undertakers engaged in a caper known as
"Harold and Maude" involving a group of Hollywood funeral homes and an ancient but unforgotten
mafia heist. Mr. Naughton is a professional screenwriter and you can tell. He is flip and quite often
funny and understands the value of brevity as few current writers do. This is the kind of book that
can even take your mind off flying as you try to decipher the short takes of the plot." --The Washington Times

From the back cover:

 

James DeRossa is a natural born rebel. Just released from Jackson County Jail, he turns his
back on the family funeral business in Detroit and heads out to Tinseltown to set up a heist and
settle an old score. Who better to hire than a group of unscrupulous undertakers. Only this time
they aren’t burying anyone, they’re out to  disinter $25 million in missing cash and  ice.  But
Detective Hank Gladwin brought his shovel to the party and is onto DeRossa when his list of
suspects starts pushing up more than daisies. These felons are all about to join a deadly procession
and one hell of a ride.

 

                        “Why was Big Frank murdered?”

                        “Why else, the money.”

                        “Cut to the chase... where is the money?”

                        “At the Y.”

                        “We’re here,” Agent Kim looked around

                         the cafe and said, “and it ain’t here.”

                        “Well then, there has to be another Y.”

 

Michael P. Naughton was born in Detroit. He is a professional musician and screenwriter. He has
published actor Michael Madsen’s poetry and photography under 13 Hands Publications. This is his
first mystery novel. He lives in Beverly Hills, California.
