Book Synopsis

FALLEN ANGEL

Eric Stanton is a drifter and a con artist. After he gets kicked off a bus from L.A., he finds himself in the small coastal town of Walton. This is where he meets Stella, a local waitress.

Then Stella is found murdered. And Mark Judd, the cop in charge of the investigation, is getting pretty rough with his interrogations. It'd make anybody sweat. And Stanton is beginning to sweat plenty...
