City of Shadows: The Queen of Hearts

By Chris Workman

Chris Canyon isn't a hero. He's a broken man held together with scotch tape and regret. His 25 years in law enforcement have turned him into a shadow of his former self. The echoes of past failures and the ghosts of three failed marriages haunt him. He tries to numb his pain with cheap whiskey, a self-destructive habit that doesn't heal his wounds. He drifts struggling with addiction and despair. Yet, this wreck of a man hides a brilliant detective. He can solve even the most complex crimes with an uncanny skill. His methods break from tradition, his personality grates on others, and his life is a mess, but he always finishes the job.

This story isn't a sugar-coated story about a brave police officer beating the bad guys in the city. It takes a hard honest look at a man haunted by his inner demons seeking to make things right against tough odds. The story explores his quest to find himself, a path lined with the pieces of a life in ruins.

It shows how love can change people how kindness can appear in surprising places, and how there's always a chance for a new day even in the darkest times. Readers will see Canyon sink to his lowest point and then climb back up to a shaky peace accepting his new life. Get ready to be pulled into his tale, to experience his raw pain, and to share in the possibility of his new beginning.
