Trey R. Barker is the award-winning writer of the novel 2000 Miles to Open Road and the non-fiction book The Cancer Chronicles. He has also written and published short stories, plays, collections, and non-fiction articles. After a string of unusual jobs, he currently patrols the back roads of north-central Illinois as a deputy sheriff, where he lives quietly with his wife, LuAnn, and their three Canine-Americans.
This collection of crime fiction slices up the nightmare side of the American dream. Barker gives the reader an array of flawed characters, exactly the kind of Every Person his fans have come to expect and love, in tense and unforgiving situations. These are harsh characters living harsh lives, but each has a redemption to which all of us can relate.
