MurderLand : a crime novel

Have you ever thought about killing someone? What stopped you? Afraid you'd get caught? Your better self? Harry Holiday's better self lies in ruins. His world is crumbling around him. Someone tried to murder Harry's father six months ago and left him in a coma. Someone is trying to steal what's left of the family fortune. Some people would like to see Harry dead, and they have no scruples about killing him. Harry, a young, likeable but out-of-control wheeler-dealer, is so desperate that pulling off the perfect murder seems like his only way out. Can his harebrained scheme actually work? Will he go through with it? Will it save him and the once-famous, now-rundown family business--MurderLand--a museum of gangland and murder-related memorabilia? Harry's beloved MurderLand is located in the heart of the old, tacky, casino and entertainment district in Niagara Falls. The three waterfalls at Niagara are the most popular natural wonder in North America. Twelve million people visit each year. The museum was once one of the must-see sideshows of this popular tourist mecca. Now, the iconic exhibition is close to folding, and Harry is at his wit's end trying to figure out how to win back the sightseers. Fighting off loan sharks and forced to sell relics buried in the museum's basement to keep the doors open and impress a quirky young woman he can't live without, Harry's hopes soar when he thinks he may have discovered the perfect dupe to help carry out a flawless murder. But Harry gets more than he bargained for in this fast-paced caper when he not only stumbles into the middle of another crime in progress but accidentally begins to uncover shocking new evidence in the basement of MurderLand that may tie together the building's past, the plot to assassinate a president, and Harry's own growing urge to kill.
