Book Synopsis
Darlene Connolly is living on the edge four years after a massive solar storm nicknamed Sun-Kissed, causes worldwide havoc.
Desperate to support her ailing mother and also exact a long-planned retribution, she sets out to swindle Todd Dolan who abandoned her in high school after she became pregnant. Todd falls for the ruse out of greed and curiosity about the baby.
Meanwhile, their son Cotton works on a dude ranch and "fishes" for redeemable bottles and cans to bankroll his own penance. On a trip home, he becomes entangled in his mother's murderous fury and uncovers a shocking revelation.
Pick up a copy of Donovan's latest literary adventure and buckle yourself in for a twisted psychological tale that proves, even on a scorched planet, revenge remains a dish best served cold.
Review Quotes
"Masterfully written! Darlene is one of those characters that you love to hate, and yet, you wonder does it matter if she can or can't be redeemed? Sometimes you have to put the book down, just to take a breath. Vincent Donovan writes a thrilling tale with Only Dead Leaves Fall." -Amy's Bookshelf Reviews
"Donovan's sharp wit and hypnotic storytelling have joined forces to create a true classic. A horrific natural disaster backdrop transforms this psychological family thriller into a post-apocalyptic horror story we 2020 survivors can unfortunately all relate to." -David P. Anderson, author of True Aim
