Summary
Imagine that Raymond Chandler wrote The Winds of War and you can begin to understand why House Of Ghosts is such different and compelling detective story. Detective Joe Henderson is the modern incarnation of Philip Marlowe--hard boiled, hard drinking, hard loving, delightfully cynical, offering wry observations of life in the age of Starbucks.The tale begins in the sweltering summer of 2000 when Preston Swedge, an alcoholic recluse and World War II veteran, has died in Westfield, New Jersey. At his estate sale, retired local police detective Joe Henderson discovers a 1944 diary describing a rogue attempt by a Jewish-American pilot named Paul Rothstein to drop his bombs on Auschwitz's killing complex where nearly 300,000 captives were about to be murdered. With the fortitude of a Maccabean zealot and the patriotism of an American freedom fighter Rothstein had set out to defy his commanders who had prohibited any attempt to save Jewish lives. Joe Henderson's curiosity launches him on a crusade for the truth and a shocking revelation when he tracks down the last living witness who can solve the mystery of why the raid never happened. Epic in its breadth, House Of Ghosts sweeps effortlessly from contemporary Westfield, New Jersey to the Princeton University of 1939, and on to the aerial battle above Italy and Poland in 1944. Along the way you'll meet up with notables such as Charles Lindbergh, Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr., General Fulgencio Batista, and Alina Gilbert, the exotic dancer who helps to make this the hottest summer on record.

Summary
When a mass murder shatters the calm of bucolic Westfield, New Jersey, veteran detective Joe Henderson is unprepared for the fallout when the shooter turns out to be a well-known local guy, a fellow soccer dad, and a friend. For Henderson, the nightmare is just beginning. He is about to be challenged by the pre-eminent biotech genius Dr. Mahli Lani and the Brooklyn Mafia family that has provided $500 million in the financing for a “miracle drug” that is marching America to the brink of nuclear war. Gene Killers shines a spotlight on FDA ineptitude and the drive of Wall Street for the perfect score. In a tale worthy of Michael Crichton and Raymond Chandler, author Lawrence Kaplan weaves an epic medical murder mystery based on scientific discoveries torn from today’s headlines. Readers of Kaplan’s earlier work, House Of Ghosts, will recognize Detective Joe Henderson, the hard-drinking, chain smoking, politically incorrect heir to Phillip Marlowe and his sidekick the devious, Russian emigre siren, Alenia Gilbert.
About the Author
Lawrence (Larry) Kaplan grew up in a middle class section of Union, New Jersey. A child of the 1950s, he says that he “played punch ball in the street, didn’t go to camp, and didn’t talk back.” It was a world where kids rode their bikes to get where they needed to go, mothers stayed home, and no one had two cars. “And most important,” Larry notes, “people gave a damn about each other.” His dad was a dental technician; this inspired Larry to go into dentistry. He's been in solo practice in Scotch Plains, New Jersey since 1983.
