Ebook description

With this eerie, suspenseful, and heart-wrenching debut novel, Stan Richards provides shocking twists to familiar roman noir themes. Obsessed that he might have played a role in her brutal murder, Detective Chuck Johnson reopens the unsolved case and ventures into the dark oedipal depths of his childhood. But he soon learns that the past is not what it seems to be.

Review by: Scott Eubanks on Sep. 15, 2010 :
Definitely a page turner- I couldn't stop reading. Works on every level. Chuck is tortured by real/false memories as he delves into his mother's murder. The payoff is worthy of the setup. If this is only Richards' first novel, I can't wait to see where he goes next. Simply amazing!
