The Interviews
In a world relentlessly tortured by radical racism, violence and protests, Lazarus takes the reader on a journey through the madness and hate that scars the very soul of society itself. Written as three different books - Country on Fire, Inmate on Fire, and Benefaction on Fire - Lazarus leads us through United States history from 2020 to modern day using three different first person accounts. In the first book, Country on Fire, Shawn Thomas shows us the ugly side of the protests and law enforcement upon being captured and subsequently questioned in an Atlanta Police interrogation room by two ambitious detectives. In the second book, Inmate on Fire, Melvin takes a new inmate called The Legend under his wing at the local jail and tries to learn all he can about The Cause, a movement dedicated to finding the solution to racial inequality, through violence if necessary. The third and final book, Benefaction on Fire, ties the other two together in a shocking, bloody end that nobody will see coming.
Written in real time, Country on Fire (2020) and Inmate on Fire (2020) hit three Amazon Best Seller Lists. Benefaction on Fire (2021) was recently released.
REVIEWS
Dealing with the present-day social issues of police brutality and rioting, The Interview (Country On Fire) by Lazarus is a profound novella that depicts the issue in an intriguing and brilliant story. With such a controversial subject, the account is compelling and thought-provoking. I applaud the author for being brave enough to broach the topic. I appreciated that each character's race was elusive, letting the reader recognize their own assumptions. Illustrating the aspects of good and evil prevalent in every facet of society, it is a novella that will interest those who like reading controversial fiction.

This book is super interesting, especially after I found out the author is a real life criminal defense lawyer, so it’s actually realistic. The story is engaging and there is a ton of drama, suspense, and twists. The social justice warriors are intense and the book is pretty graphic, but a really fantastic read.
