So I read in a very well respected online publication (shhhh…it was Facebook) that there is a very good explanation for why sometimes when we walk into a room we forget why we went in there in the first place. It has to do with the doorways. Our brains register the doorways as a new chapter or new experience and it ends the situation we were experiencing in the other room. A sort of re-boot if you will. That makes TOTAL sense to me and I am going to accept it as fact. So you can choose for yourself. Accept that explanation or choose option B, you’re getting old. I choose option A.
Rejection: Publishing Thriller: A Lou Drake Thriller
Thomas K. Matthews
Genre: Suspense | Mystery
FREE for a limited time
Lou Drake was once the pride of the NYPD detectives until the high profile Hennings murder case went terribly wrong, nearly ending his career. Ten years later, fifty pounds heavier and three months from retirement, Drake works patrol in the backwater neighborhood of Malcolm New York. He spends his idle time reading crime novels and writing one of his own. When Drake breaks protocol on a foul odor call, endangering his rookie partner, Drake’s captain demotes him to the booking cage. The call turns out to be a murder scene, the victim ritualistically killed. Nothing like this has ever happened in Malcolm and spooks the local police to their bones. But when another body is discovered and both victims are identified as struggling literary agents, they know they have a serial killer on their hands. NYPD Chief of Detectives Smythe takes charge and launches an investigation after another victim is discovered. The bizarre, message laden details of the killings point to somebody angry at the publishing business – especially the literary agent community. In an effort to understand what is driving the killer, Smythe decides Lou’s writing experience could benefit the case and pairs him with his old partner one last time. As they look for clues in the struggling publishing industry, Drake finds himself thrust into the middle of the insane drama where a methodical perpetrator is systematically killing those who rejected him. Drake must revive his old detective prowess and trust his writer’s intuition to try and solve the case, while possibly exposing the truth about the old Hennings investigation – a secret that could expose a web of corruption that could shake the NYPD to its core.
