Here’s the set-up:
A shocking crime. A loved one, brutally murdered. Paul’s life is suddenly invaded by police, reporters, the harsh glare of spotlights on a family’s private sorrow. The killer shows no sorrow, no remorse – a teen sociopath whose dead eyes stare in sullen silence. Paul does not want blood or vengeance. He wants to know why.
Paul Kelly was a good man. But his obsession is drawing him into the darkest depths of the human soul. Where a terrible truth lurks in the shadows of lies. And a price must be paid to answer…
–Peter Straub
“Spector (THE LIGHT AT THE END) is a strong writer who convincingly re-creates the dark, often gruesome world of paramedics and firefighters. Most impressive is his exploration into Paul’s character and how ordinary people cope with extraordinary grief and horror. Not for the faint of heart, Spector’s latest is for lovers of the best psychological thrillers, along the lines of Ruth Rendell’s.”
–Publishers Weekly
“A powerful novel of one man’s search for an answer after a loved one is brutally murdered. The question is why? Filled with heartbreak and horror, an unflinching trip into the heart of darkness. Highest recommendation. “
