Lawyer Ty Buchanan has a great life, good job, and a wonderful fiancée Jacqueline Dwyer. Everything seems to go swimmingly, until the horrible news that his fiancé has been killed comes.  A convicted killer apparently killed himself on a highway overpass just as Jacqueline’s car passed underneath the overpass, lands on her car and instantly kills her. 

That’s the story. 

And then, a wanderer/street person approaches Ty at Jacqueline’s funeral and says he has proof that Jacqueline’s death wasn’t so ‘instant’. He will gladly give up the information for a certain sum of money. 

It’s not a tidy easy venture into the dark places where the information leads Ty, but he is driven to uncover the truth. Is it worth dying for?? 

James Scott Bell ventures into new territory with this genre and his first offering is wonderful! The characters are real and the settings intriguing and dangerous. There doesn’t seem to be an overt Christian message, but there is a sense of hope.  

As a long time James Scott Bell fan, I welcome this new branch of his stellar storytelling.
