Geneseo, NY (PRWEB) April 22, 2005 -- The start of something big! Genesee
Valley writer, Aaron Paul Lazar, pledges to write two books per year in his
popular new mystery series.
The first book in the LeGarde Mystery series,
Double Forté, has been garnishing exceptional reviews.
Carlton Duncan,
author of Echoes in the Darkness, says, “Double Forté by Aaron Paul Lazar is a
beautifully crafted novel vaguely reminiscent of the style of Rex Stout, yet
refreshingly original. Appealing on several levels, the characters are well
developed and diverse, and represent people that we know in real life. From the
pristine innocence of young Johnny and Sadie, to the unprincipled son-in-law,
Harold, and the corrupt and venomous Ed Baxter, we see those uniquely human
traits that make life immensely pleasurable and, at times, horrific. Contrasting
personalities and events create the conflict that is so important to all good
works of fiction, and Mr. Lazar's novel illustrates this point very effectively
indeed.
As a protagonist, Professor Gus LeGarde, in many ways, show
great courage and emotional strength, but he also displays a certain
vulnerability that renders him totally believable. He is a real man, but not a
superman; his great passions and haunting past are cleverly revealed to the
reader without hindering the pace of the novel. Also, the vivid description of
New York's Genesee Valley is so engaging that the reader will feel as though he
is actually there. I have absolutely no reservations in giving Double Forte'
five stars, and look forward to the next installment in the series. I would
strongly recommend this book to all lovers of great mysteries.”
Lazar,
52, lives in Groveland, NY with his wife, three daughters, and two grandsons.
Although he planned to write a mystery series someday, it began much sooner than
anticipated after the loss of eight friends and family who died in a five-year
time period. “I needed a release to deal with the loss,” said Lazar “and started
writing. I included characters to honor my grandparents and my father. Creating
scenes with them was almost like ‘visiting’ with my lost loved ones. It was
great therapy!”
BooksAndAuthors.net claims, “Mr. Lazar has a created a
character that many are buzzing ‘Hollywood adaptation.’ ”
Double Forté
chronicles the spine tingling exploits of fictional character Gus LeGarde.
LeGarde, a college professor and widower, faces bewildering emotions when he
falls for Camille, the vivacious, dark-eyed daughter of his secretary. Yet dark
and troubling events in her past cause her to rebuff Gus's affections. Romance
glimmers, however, as both become embroiled in an adventure when Gus discovers a
mute child shackled to a bedpost in a secluded cabin. The mystery turns deadly
when the child's kidnapper escapes on a snowmobile that tumbles into the deep
Letchworth Gorge. When Gus's little grandson disappears and threats arrive
against Camille, the fate of the villain is questioned. The story charges ahead
as threats from the murderer lurking in the wintry woods plague the LeGarde
family.
Lazar’s second book in the mystery series, Upstaged, has been
accepted for publication. Prolific to the point of obsession, he has completed
six additional books in the series and is currently working on the ninth book
that features the LeGarde family.
After writing in the early morning
hours, Lazar works as an electrophotographic engineer at Kodak owned NexPress
Solutions, Inc, in Rochester, New York.
Double Forté is currently
available to order through PublishAmerica.com, Amazon.com and
Barnes&Noble.com. ISBN# 1-4137-2838-3. More information on the book’s
