One Quiet Night

About the Book

THE CRIMES: Double homicides strike two small rural towns thousands of miles apart within weeks of each other. Frigid temperatures, bone chilling winds, a parallel journey, a raging all-consuming house fire, and one lone strand of evidence uncovered amongst the ashes begin a fifteen-year, unsolved investigation into the deaths of two innkeepers from rural New Hampshire and the tie between the deaths of two transients in a rural Florida cornfield.

THE WAYWARD DAUGHTER: Brooke Kenney, a free-spirited, rebellious woman-child desperate to escape the confinement of a small town, embarks on the eighteen-month adventure of her lifetime. She meets up with her destiny in Alaska and becomes the eye of a storm bringing death to her family's doorstep.

THE DRIFTER: Eddie Lee Mason, tired of cat burglaries and recently released from incarceration at the Walla Walla penitentiary, sets his sights on a fresh start in Alaska. Catching his first break in years, he waltzes into the young, innocent woman-child's world and gives her the ride and adventure of her lifetime-drifting from state to state, with various petty crimes ending in an obsessive love that roils out of control and leaves in its wake four homicides, all in the name of love.

THE PRODIGAL SON: Luke Kenney, the brooding, unlikable son, and the only member of the tragic Kenney family left alive. A time bomb unleashed during one quiet night in a small, scenic New Hampshire town, the prodigal son returns to pick up the ashes of his family's untimely demise, tarnishing and bringing terror to the idyllic town he hoped to have left behind him.
