First We Kill All the Zombies
(2014)(The second book in the Derek Shriver Mystery series)
A novel by Connie Flynn
While on their way to a long awaited Paris honeymoon, Derek and Clara Shriver encounter an airship . . . a sassy, sometimes goofy robot . . . a luxurious manor house on an enormous estate and . . . zombies.
Derek Shriver, certified public accountant, former Green Beret, and amusement park owner is blissfully wed to Clara, who kicked off their unfortunate adventures by leaving a cryptic note for Derek. Something about buying a Roaring Twenties theme park. Taken aback by her failure to consult him, he's mostly irate about delaying their honeymoon, but rushes to her side regardless.
The park's owner, a steel-spined German scientist who calls himself Doktor, offers them luxurious accommodations and invites them to dine with him at the park's finest restaurant. That evening a horse-drawn coach picks them up, but they never reach the restaurant and Clara disappears. Derek finds her in a sprawling meadow where they are coerced into boarding a huge airship. To Derek it feels as if they'd stepped into the belly of a whale.
Soon after they board the airship, an explosion occurs. When Derek revives, he finds he's lost two days and his wife is busy developing cures for a motley crew of zombies.
The Doktor tells them that they've been kidnapped into the Roaring Twenties. Clara, because she's a renowned biophysicist and the Doktor needs her to find a cure. Derek, because of his skills in training soldiers. They're trapped in space and time, in a world far from home and Derek is determined to find a way out. With help from his double-agent robotic sidekick, he's feeling optimistic until new visitors arrive at the manor house and the Doktor's true purpose is revealed.
Now a clock is ticking and it's vital Derek and Clara get out of there. He has to find out how . . . but first they must kill all the zombies.
