Praise for “Heroes and Lovers”
I just finished HEROES AND LOVERS…really an enjoyable read. Hell, if I was a cop, I would BE Sam Jenkins…Great writing Wayne. I’m looking forward to more. Dirk Western Wayne Zurl is a fantastic author that grabs the reader from the first page and doesn’t let go… His characters are fully developed and realistic.

read more5 stars for A NEW PROSPECT
From award-winning author & reviewer Betty Dravis on Amazon.com Since author Wayne Zurl is a retired police officer, he’s well-equipped to make this book realistic and he does just that. As for the criminal aspect of this story, Zurl is spot on with the appropriate procedures. As for his characters, I feel like I know them personally and I’m sure you will. They’re so human, they could be anyone’s next door neighbors and/or friends and family members. I fell in like with Chief Jenkins because he’s an...
