Bishop's Reckoning

About the Book

Neil Bishop is in trouble…

A chance meeting with his old rival spurs a twelve hour tailspin of memory and conflict. Now convinced he cannot escape a past he has desperately tried to forget, Neil searches himself and those around him for an answer before time runs out. Over the course of one night, his struggle to bring life into focus comes full circle. Before he can face the impending confrontation with his nemesis, however, Neil must first brave forced maturity, romantic ineptitude, parking lot hoods and a strangely philosophical tough guy. Most importantly, he is compelled to attempt reconciliation with the only woman he ever loved…the woman that left him as suddenly as she appeared.

Bishop’s Reckoning is a roller coaster ride of frenetic humor, stark sadness, and insightful looks into the reality of life, love and loss. A modern day parable of redemption, Neil’s journey illustrates the continuance of life and the struggle to understand its permutations.
