Book Synopsis
U. S. Navy Seal vet, Mark St. James, has lived in Quincy, Pennsylvania his entire life. Coming from a long line of men and women, which dates back to the town founder, he knew the secrets even a small town kept. Returning home from his tour in Iraq, he's determined to right wrongs and rid his home town of the criminal degradation it's fallen into. Forming the Severe Crimes Investigation Unit, an elite division of the QPD, he cracks down on crime in the city by taking out habitual offenders. One year later, he pays the ultimate price, when a sadistic killer forces him to experience horror and loss at a personal level. After killing the man responsible, Mark no longer runs SCIU, is a recovering alcoholic, and self made Private Investigator. When a new batch of mysterious multiple homicides, with possible ties to the man he killed, begins; he must relive the nightmares in his past to stop the ones in the present.
