Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

In the '70s, Thomas Lion was involved in a major conspiracy. In 1984 he broke away clean, married an undercover cop's daughter and tried to live a normal life. One day two federal fugitives paid a visit to his Lake Tahoe antique store, and suddenly the past he'd tried to forget became a recurring nightmare. Three government agencies wanted him. The lawman father of Lion's beautiful bride wanted his rebellious daughter back. It took five years, and deputizing eighteen million viewers of TV's Unsolved Mysteries to force Lion out of a surrealistic underground world filled with assumed names, secret offshore bank accounts, and betrayal. "Thomas Lion shows he's a writer of uncommon insight, honesty and promise as he builds a fascinating story about his experience as a former millionaire turned fugitive. His appearance on TV's Unsolved Mysteries led to his capture and doing hard time in prison. I found it an irresistible read about the dark side of life while evading federal indictments and incarceration." Ed Johnson, Golden Hours; Oregon Public Broadcasting "A page turner, an eye opener. Thomas Lion takes the reader for a backseat ride into the fast-paced netherworld of fugitives running on the fringes of the American dream."

John Shinnick, Editor Media-Wave.com, Vancouver, BC "Real life often results in the most interesting stories. That's certainly the case with Thomas Lion's book I Was An Unsolved Mystery. An absorbing read and a nice follow to his first book, Chelan." Dennis Rahm, Washington State radio talk show host Readers of Lion's first book Chelan have repeatedly and impatiently asked about I Was An Unsolved Mystery. They won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great yarn that you wont want to put down!, February 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: I Was An Unsolved Mystery: An American Fugitive Story (Paperback)
There is something that attracts most of us about a true story. This story is better than most. Both romantic, and dark, Lions takes you through an almost unbelievable journey that keeps your eyes glued to the pages. I was shocked at the way he escaped the hand of the law, and how the law finally tracked him down. This is a must read book!

5.0 out of 5 stars T. Lion does it again Acurate as can be !!!!, February 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: I Was An Unsolved Mystery: An American Fugitive Story (Paperback)
T.Lion has his second hit book this year.Chelan was fabulous and now Unsolved. When will this government figure out the "wharehousing" of peaceful citizens in the name of marijuana is a very bad joke !!! Draconian sentencing for "herb" people should END ! Lion's unrelenting fight for freedom and fairness can finally be heard. Please take a special note how our government rewards violent criminals to get "their" man. Unsolved could be the new bible of the underground. A GREAT true story!

3.0 out of 5 stars A different kind of read., February 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: I Was An Unsolved Mystery: An American Fugitive Story (Paperback)
Lion has it right: marijuana users growers and dealers are not threats to society. The decision to use pot should be a moral rather than a legal one. Lion began to act on these ideas in the early seventies. Eventually his actions forced him underground, broke up his family, and landed him in the slammer. An amazing story.
