Publisher Description
Ahmad Nazami is an Iranian-born Muslim, accused of murdering his professor. Left behind at the crime scene are a few pages of a manuscript that claimed to disprove the existence of God. The rest of it—gone missing. Carl Vanderveer is a PI hired by one of the best criminal lawyers in town to investigate Nazami's case. Once he'd been a cop, with a life spiraling out of control. Then Pastor Paul Plowright brought him to Jesus. Now all Carl wants is to live clean and straight, with his daughter and his wife (his third, the good one, that came after Jesus), and do his job. But as he gets deeper into the investigation of the murdered professor, his most basic beliefs and relationships are tried and his world is turned upside down.

"This book was a compassionate tale of the interaction of religious and non religious people set in a dark detective story. Too real for comfort and edgy in the best way. I need to read more of this guy's work."

A gripping, page-turning tale that takes one through bad lawyers and good ones, treachery and faith, pornography and preaching, torture and Homeland Security. Salvation Boulevard is a great and memorable [listen].

" I really hated this book at first, but it finally started to pick up speed and ended up not being completely awful. It had a lot of turns and surprises - which made me like it. The movie of this book was HORRIBLE. I do NOT recommend it. "

" Cartoon characters discussing theodicy...a genre excercise which does for the Private Detective what Hitchens/Dawkins do in non-fiction,which is to set-up religious Straw Men to demonstrate the superiority of the Atheist position...a good argument could be made but this isn't it... "

" The author of "Wag the Dog" -this one involves a mega-church, terrorism, and a murder. Kept my interest but would be hard to recommend. "

" The concept of this book was better than the actual execution. You can give this book a pass, I feel you'd just be disappointed if you were brought to this book by the premise "
