an Adult Fantasy by PAUL E. HAYES

(mock cover)

Detective Peter Doyle settled on the sleepy Isle of Nonn to get away from a life of renown and tragedy, but when two identical deaths without apparent foul play occur exactly one month apart, the local constable seeks Peter’s talent for solving difficult crimes.

His search for truth delivers him to the edge of a hidden world, one he stepped into as a child at the expense of his right leg. There, he draws allies both mystical and mundane, but his search triggers echoes of a buried past that will come looking for him if those echoes are heard.

Time will run out for Peter if he doesn’t unravel twisted triangles of obsession, control, and unrequited love with tragic consequences. He must choose between allowing justice to prevail or seeking vengeance to end the horrors of the past and present once and for all.
