Book Description by Author:

Enigmatic Zeke Olsen has everything he ever wanted. A well-paid job, a beautiful wife, close friends, and a baby on the way. Fumbling his way through a traumatic childhood, he’d carved out the existence of his dreams. His life is perfect until a business trip to New York brings about a catastrophic turn of events.

Zeke returns home and finds his life spiralling out of control, battling his memory, addiction, and pain. He struggles to grasp what happened, who he is, and what he is capable of. His dream slowly fades into a nightmare and unravels chaotically around him.

A boundary-crossing dark, psychological thriller that will keep you guessing as you ask yourself, how well do you know really know anyone?

About the Author:

J.S. Morton is an award-winning fiction writer with a deep love for dark comedy. Most of his stories revolve around real-life issues and human psychology.

As a reader, he loves a gritty dystopia as much as dark, humorous read and cites 'The Handmaid's Tale' '1984' and 'You' among some of his favourites.

Outside of writing, John is a passionate fan of live music (predominantly punk rock), motorsports, reading, cinema, and snow.

He is also a staunch believer in kindness and that it is never too late in life to start again.
