About the Book

It should be a simple matter for an ex-cop, retired FBI agent, and successful security specialist to come up with an efficient method of punching his own ticket. Yet, a year after Jared McCormick made his grim decision, here he is – still battling his debilitating demons and enduring his multiplying phobias. He’s gotten quite good at ducking the net that should have been thrown over him by now, but this is a bad thing. After all, he is well trained, very experienced, and assuredly deadly – and on the verge of going postal... a very bad thing. He’s so adept at survival that he will somehow have to trick himself into safely dying. So, the current suicide plan he can live with, so to speak, centers on returning to the small town that had spawned, tormented, and shunned him as a boy. Since he’s going to die anyway - one way or another - he means to go out in a blaze of heroism by manipulating some small time, small town crime to his favor. The town, by God, will finally remember him with respect... however, the plan didn’t include babysitting an exhausted chief of police, or dodging a past that keeps slapping him in the face, or falling for a little girl’s dimpled smile. And it certainly didn’t call for him to be pitted against a serial killer - a sick and haunted superhero - arrogant, cynical, and failing fast versus a desperate man terrorizing the town – do either of them have a future?

All events and characters depicted in this book are fictional.

K.L. Minier was born in Nebraska and lived in several small towns in the Midwest before landing in Oklahoma. While currently exploring the 50’s (every bit as complicated and exciting as the 20’s), K. L. Minier draws upon life experiences for writing, such as being the second-to-youngest in a large family, retail pet sales, hitch-hiking to both coasts, general people-watching, art training, and being a grandparent.
