The acclaimed author of Ghost Eaters and What Kind of Mother comes to Bad Hand Books with a new novella (nearly 40,000 words).

The body of Glenn Partridge's 15-year-old son was discovered in a vacant lot nearly forty years ago. The police are still no closer to finding the murderer decades later.

But as Glenn's story takes on a life of its own, someone from the past is compelled to come out of hiding before he reaches...

The End.
