Death Becomes You

A Cable Denning Mystery

By: James P. Alsphert

Narrated by: Dario Vanni

Terrifying Spellbinding Murder Mystery at Its Best

It was Friday, April 11th, 1941 at about 9:30 p.m. A mysterious flying object crashes near the town of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Three alien-like bodies are found. One survives. Thus begins Cable Denning’s extraordinary adventure of government intrigue, murder, and jam-packed action in a fast-paced mystery filled with colorful characters, beautiful babes, and riddles to the question: Are we alone in this cosmos of endless stars?

The charming, beautiful, and sophisticated Eleanor Winston enters Cable’s life on a missing sisters case and things begin to tear at the seams and rip wide open. The suspense builds and Cable not only finds Fredericka Winston, but the “man” in her life turns out to be a black-market bad guy who puts his own life on the line for an object taken from the downed flying saucer, called the Klix strip. Cable doesn’t know it then, but that one object heralds the beginning of the computer age and people will - and do - kill or die to obtain it, including the German underground headed by a nefarious character by the name of Anton Krieger - who will murder anyone in the way, including Cable’s beloved.

Within the labyrinth of the underground German laboratories, Cable meets Kyllel, a charming alien “youngster" (only 400 years old!) and the little creature endows Cable with some special gifts. But a showdown is imminent, as with all Cable Denning mysteries, and atop the 3,000-foot Firefalls in Yosemite National Park, Cable is faced with insurmountable challenges and tragedy.

Packed with the pulse of the city in 1942 Los Angeles, mysterious characters, passions, sex, and action, Death Becomes You delivers on all fronts and reminds us, be careful what you pick up from a spacecraft on a quiet spring night...it could be lethal!
