'It's not every day that a good man sets a killing in motion.'

So begins this tale.

Chester has a serious problem. Tender-hearted and utterly devoted to his beautiful wife, he's convinced she will soon leave him in search of another and take their young daughter.

It's a prospect he can't live with. Desperation overcomes him.

But how far will he go? Well, a whole lot farther than you would ever think, and you have a good imagination.

A tidy plan. A very unusual murder.

But...as Kirkus Reviews warns, 'on several levels, all is not as it seems.'

Not only a suspense tale, but a unique tale of love dangerously on the brink.

Sometimes funny, sometimes dark. Always intriguing.

Kirkus Reviews says, '...a masterful job of building suspense...Intelligent characterizations elevate the story, as does the twisty plot...keeps readers guessing until the end...An entertaining, well-written, and smart crime tale: an excellent read.'
