Product Description

Product Description

You wake up in a motel room, bruised and bloody. You don't know how you got here or even where 'here' is. Then you find a body and it's just you and him. A red-haired woman pops in to steal the dead guy's laptop and you take out after her because she's got to know more than you do because you know nothing.

Pretty soon you're hiding the fact that you were in the motel. You and Maggie are trying to figure out who killed Warren. The red haired woman keeps popping by to shoot at you and the detective on the case is a brutish pervert who wants you to hack into a computer to retrieve God-knows-what, but it can't be good.

And every time you turn around you're being drawn into the dark basement where a cop was found buried beneath the coal-darkened dirt. And you know there are more secrets hiding there.

You're David Lamb, reluctant Existential Buddhist detective.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth reading. 24 Jan 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very different type of story from my previous Jerry Dubs book. A bit convoluted and lost me a couple of times but it all comes together in the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Philosophy mixed with murder mystery 11 Sep 2011
By Leon McLin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is a page turner, and the mystery and excitement built as the book progressed. I grew up in Hanover PA, and the names of streets and locations, and descriptions were very accurate, with some small deviations, to the Hanover I remember. As David Lamb rode his bicycle through the streets of Hanover, I could picture myself riding those same streets.
I could almost smell and taste the "hotdogs with everything" at the Famous Hot Weiner. The next time I visit Hanover, I will be having one.
I am not sure if there was a real life counterpart to Aletheia Krug in the Hanover Library, but I enjoyed the interjections of her observations on human nature and philosophizing. I also enjoyed the philosophizing of the main character David Lamb, the Buddhist, Existential, detective. It seemed to me that the author has given a lot of thought to philosophy. He has done an interesting excellent job of weaving commentary about human nature from the early Greeks, Incans, and Buddha, along with Existential philosophers. The idea of connectedness, rather than coincidence, as they relate to Serge Lampin adds to the intrigue of the story. The emails from the characters, after their deaths, added interesting twists to the resolution of the story. This book could be made into an exciting movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling Mystery 24 July 2011
By Natalie Mohler - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
I have read three of Jerry Dubs' novels, and I very much enjoyed this story! The theme of the novel seems to be murder mystery, but it's not that straightforward. The characters feel very real to me, and the plot will grab you from the very beginning. I read the book in a very short time, and would love to read more within the same universe. I highly recommend this novel to those who enjoy murder mysteries, but are looking for something different than usual.

4.0 out of 5 stars A package well worth unwrapping 13 Jun 2011
By Wade U. Fowler - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
The Earth is My Witness is a complex and layered mystery steeped in intimate details of setting that lend it authenticity.
The descriptions of the the iron works at Hanover, PA demonstrate that the author has more than researched the craft, he has lived it.
The Earth is My Witness develops the themes of friendship and friendship betrayed and confronts the question can we ever know what lies closest to the heart and soul of another.
The surprise ending ties a bow about this murder mystery and makes it a package well worth unwrapping.
