In STILL SEE YOU EVERYWHERE, Frankie Elkin is suddenly contacted by Kaylee Pierson, “the Beautiful Butcher,” a notorious serial killer who viciously murdered eighteen men. Pierson – on death row in Texas with only 21 days left to live – has received a tip on the whereabouts of her beloved younger sister Leilani, who was kidnapped more than a decade earlier and may be in the clutches of Pierson’s wealthy ex-boyfriend. Fearing for her sister’s life, Pierson desperately needs Frankie’s help. Despite her reservations, Frankie is compelled to search for a missing person who might still be alive -- before her only sister meets her death.

Welcome to Pomaikai. Nothing here is as simple as it first appears. With no time to lose, Frankie finds herself traveling undercover to an ecolodge development project on an isolated island south of Hawaii that boasts gorgeous ocean views, deserted beaches, and incomparable endemic wildlife but has no cell signal, no reliable internet, unpredictable extreme weather, and where emergency help is at least three days away. On arrival, Frankie encounters eleven fellow contract workers and gets the immediate sense that most of them are lying to her. But why? And how much will it cost her to discover the truth? Off the grid and entirely on her own, Frankie must quickly sort out friend and foe. But Frankie’s superpower is her adaptability, and she is soon following increasingly dangerous leads as she edges closer to the truth. Heart-pounding, twisty, and atmospheric, STILL SEE YOU EVERYWHERE shows that even paradise can come with its own dangerous edge.

For a sixteen-year-old, a summer internship working for a private investigator seems like a dream come true—particularly since the PI is investigating the most shocking crime to hit Bloomington, Indiana, in decades. A local woman has vanished, and the last time anyone saw her, she was in the backseat of a police car driven by a man impersonating an officer.
Marshall Miller’s internship puts him at the center of the action, a position he relishes until a terrifying moment that turns public praise for his sharp observations and uncanny memory into accusations of lying and imperiling the case. His detective mentor withdraws, friends and family worry and whisper, and Marshall alone understands that the darkness visiting his town this summer goes far beyond a single crime. Now his task is to explain it—and himself.

About the author

Steve Lazarus is a first-time author, retired FBI Special Agent, and United States Air Force veteran. He served twenty-two years in the FBI, spending the first half of his career investigating drug trafficking organizations and violent street gangs. Later, he became a full-time bomb technician, an assignment which led him to Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan as part of the Global War on Terror. After retiring from the Bureau, he spent several years as a national security contractor in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Steve lives on the South Carolina coast with his wife Susan and their amazing wonder dog, Aspen.

Steve’s debut novel was inspired by one of his real-life cases. After arresting a subject who threatened to unleash a bioterror attack on the Atlanta subway system, Steve and his partner found themselves of the receiving end of a death threat from the soon-to-be convicted felon. And though that subject would spend the next 25 years in prison, Steve couldn’t help but wonder….what if he could make good on his threat, even from behind bars? The most logical solution would be if he hired a hit man, and….voila!!!! A novel was born. Written over the course of a year in Abu Dhabi, the Florida Keys, and Texas hill country, “Call Me Sonny” was a labor of love incorporating the personalities, anecdotes, and experiences of Steve’s multi-faceted FBI career, and if things work out as planned, it will be the first in a series of Bryce Chandler crime thrillers.
