Book Description

Lee Nez Novels November 28, 2006
It's frustrating for local law enforcement to come up against a piece of scum like Newton Glover.  He's dirty as hell, everyone knows that--breaks into and vandalizes his neighbors' homes; cheats and steals from everyone; folks suspect he deals drugs and porn.  He's even killed a man and gotten away with it.  He gets away with all of it, hinting that he has a secret government background and that he's "protected" by the Powers That Be.  
Glover may finally have gone too far.  He's suspected of kidnapping a young teenage boy to use for child porn and a pedophile sex-ring.  There's no proof, but this time, Albuquerque police are determined to nail Glover to the wall.  
Lee Nez, a Navajo state police officer, and Diane Lopez, an FBI agent, go undercover in Glover's trailer park.  Lee and Diane find that their growing attraction for each other is heightened by their posing as husband and wife, but do not allow that to distract them from their mission.  They soon learn that not long ago, Glover's neighbors tried to take the law into their own hands--they dragged Glover from his home and beat him to death, leaving him in a shallow grave.  
To everyone's shock, a few days later Glover reappeared with not a mark on him.  Lee and Diane are no strangers to the supernatural--Lee is a Navajo vampire and Diane's last FBI partner was killed by a werewolf.  Whatever Glover is, they'll deal with it.
When a second child goes missing and clues link her to Glover, Lee and Diane know they are running out of time.  Glover may be some kind of un-dead, but soon those children will be really dead, or worse. 


Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In the Thurlos' lackluster fourth Lee Nez novel (after 2005's Pale Death), the half-vampire Navajo police officer and his girlfriend, FBI Special Agent Diane Lopez, set up undercover housekeeping across the street from East Mountain area crime and corruption kingpin Newton Glover. Lee draws on his extraordinary nightwalker abilities to track and bring down Glover, as well as find a missing 10-year-old, Timothy Klein, who might be Glover's victim. Lee and Diane enlist the aid of Albuquerque, N.Mex., police officer Andrea "Andy" Moore, and the good guys set a trap to snag Glover and take down a wannabe porn producer in the very same net. Lee takes more than the heat on this one, and more than one officer loses his life in the foray. Unfortunately, the concluding action amounts to too little too late. (Dec.)

From Booklist

Not your ordinary police procedural, that's for sure. Once readers' imaginations have been stretched to encompass Navajo vampire cop Lee Nez teamed with sexy FBI agent Diane Lopez, anything goes. This wildly entertaining yarn dumps the traditional cop and fantasy genres into a blender on overdrive. The action races across the Southwest as the team confronts Newton Glover, an elusive criminal bottom-feeder who seems to have supernatural powers that surpass those of Nez. Great fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surrogate Evil: A Lee Nex Novel, February 18, 2007
This review is from: Surrogate Evil: A Lee Nez Novel (Lee Nez Novels) (Hardcover)
Good read. This addition to the series depends more on police work than on the supernatural; and while I'm happy with both, I did feel the Thurlos were on more solid footing in their writing here. Maybe they should continue in this style. I'm game!

This review is from: Surrogate Evil: A Lee Nez Novel (Lee Nez Novels) (Hardcover)
I don't think this was good an effort as the previous books, but still is good for the series. This outing Lee Nez and his girlfriend,Diane Lopez, also an FBI agent, go undercover to rescue a boy who was kidnapped and to thwart a man who is a mean sonofagun, and is delving into illegal stuff, porn, drugs, etc. The battle starts between Nez, Diane, and this guy Glover. They provoke Glover and he retaliates time and time again. There isn't much of Indian folklore in this outing, which I miss. Nor is there much vamp stuff, other than Lee's night vision, speed, and quick healing. No calf blood around.
This book may not pop like others, but strengthens the bond between Lee and Diane.

3.0 out of 5 stars So little action!, January 15, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Surrogate Evil: A Lee Nez Novel (Lee Nez Novels) (Hardcover)
I've been following this series since they came out and out of the four books already out this one was the slowest one when it came to action and fights. The way the main characters relationship has been played was well done, but the book overall left me wanting for something that wasn't there...maybe next one.
