“With some utterly believable characters, a unique storyline and a well-paced mystery, this is a heart-stopping tale that will enthrall any reader.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, Anne-Marie Reynolds (5 STARS)
Payden Beck begins his career as a police officer, eager to serve. At the end of his first week, his field-training officer, Richard LaMont, invites him home for dinner, introducing Payden to his eccentric, much-younger wife, Ana. Ana approves.
Richard is called away to work during Payden’s visit, but Payden is happy to stay and watch over Ana. Their weekend is pleasant, sterile. Richard approves, as well. But, when Richard is found dead in his home Monday morning, Payden’s time spent with Ana—and their chemistry—make Payden the prime suspect.
The more Payden learns of Richard’s life—with Ana’s assistance—the deeper the mystery of Richard’s murder becomes, and every revelation leads to greater confusion. Things can seem perfect... even when they’re inescapably horrifying.

Product description
About the Author
EDITOR: I was born a bibliophile, but it wasn't until high school that I discovered my knack for editing and decided I wanted to edit fiction. I love the feel of a book in my hands, and I may or may not be one of those crazy book sniffers. In my spare time (which is in short supply), I enjoy playing board games and card games with my husband and two teen boys, perusing antique shops, and, of course, reading. What I love most about editing is cultivating relationships with authors. I feel fortunate to be able to share in their creative vision as an editorial partner. I am inspired by their dedication and I enjoy helping them achieve their goals. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

About the author

Michael Golvach is an award winning novelist and freelance writer from Grayslake, IL. He doesn't believe in single-layered genres - though every story is a romance of some sort - and has written many titles that run the gamut from character studies to full-on hard-boiled crime fiction. He spends his non-commercial writing time cooking up abstract fiction even he doesn't quite understand; although he's certain someone out there does.
One thing's for sure: He's always got something new cooking.

If you have read "Split the Middle", then you will see Payden Beck as a more sympathetic, three-dimensional character in this book.
If you have not yet read "Split the Middle", then I recommend you read this book first so you can go in chronological order.
Mr. Golvach shows once again in this novel what a great storyteller he is and that he can create characters you will not soon forget, from the rookie cops and hardened veteran detectives to the femme fatale who pulls all the strings.
