When reporter Hudson Ambrose hears an early morning call on his police scanner about an injured person at a bus stop on Las Vegas Boulevard, he rushes to the scene to get the scoop. His world is blown off its axis when he discovers a murdered homeless man with a bankbook in his pocket showing a balance of almost one million dollars. Should he wait for the police, knowing the case will get lost in reams of red tape, or swipe the bankbook and take the investigationâ??and perhaps a chunk of the moneyâ??into his own hands? With sirens bearing down on the scene, Hudson makes an impulse decision that whisks him on a frantic search for answers, not only about the mysterious man in the black Converse high-tops, but about the lost soul lurking within himself. Uncovering bizarre links between a plane crash, a Las Vegas pit boss, a dirty cop, and a widowed Atlanta business mogul, Hudson is forced to find out, who was Chester Holte, what was he doing on the streets, and why are his homeless friends convinced he was an angel in disguise… (mehr)

Nobody: A Christian Fiction Mystery Thriller

Creston Mapes wove a suspenseful thriller that was full of twists and turns. A newspaper reporter hears of a something that could be a big story for him. He gets to the scene before the police and takes several items off the dead man. He finds out the dead man was rich and helped the homeless, but it isn't in the news, and the body is gone. ( )

An interesting and unusual storyline and a good mystery but far too much religion for my liking (some formatting issues on kindle) ( )

Interesting story of Hudson Ambrose, a reporter for the local Las Vegas, NV newspaper. Follow Hudson as he digs himself a large hole when he decides not to report the finding of a dead homeless man on the street. It turns out the homeless man is much more important and has more questions than Hudson could imagine. Lots of lessons in this story... ethics, religion, and the treatment of the homeless. ( )

NCLA Review -Hudson Ambrose is a reporter who hears of a murder on his police scanner. He goes to the scene only to find no police around. He waits but no one comes. Finally he can't stand it any more and searches the body. He finds this dead homeless man to have a bank book with a balance of almost a million dollars. He hears the police coming and leaves. Ambrose goes to the bank with a key he had also found. Here he finds cash and newspaper clippings. He takes the clippings to see if he can learn more about the man. When he inquires about the body at the coroner’s office, he's told no body fitting his description came through. He returns to the crime scene and finds no trace of any crime. So who is this homeless man and where is his body? This book has many twists. It’s a story about servanthood and trying to be bigger than God. Rating: 3 —NP ( )

Reporter Hudson Ambrose is the first on the scene of a murder--of a man who looks to be homeless. But Hudson discovers a bankbook and key that indicate the man was really a millionaire. Why would a man who had so much money be out on the street? As Hudson investigates he finds some surprising answers--and some new friends.
This was a good solid suspense story, it also deals with the issue of how we treat the homeless. An enjoyable and uplifiting read. ( )
