LEWIS

About the Book

Can a man who's spent his life forgetting all that he doesn't want to consider find his way back to the road he's taken? Lewis Melton, infamous writer and educator, needs to find out before it kills him, and he won't get much help from all of those he betrayed.

Lewis Melton is easy to please: a sunny beach, the right meds, and a continuation of his life as a literary icon of small and fading repute. He has learned to forget any unpleasant thoughts - how could he not be happy? He finds out, when a dead friend from the Sixties breaks into his house, terrorizes his ex-wife, and tries to run Lewis down in his own driveway. His old friend, not so dead after all, wants answers and revenge, while Lewis, on the run, must figure out why.
