Facing A Dark Victory

By Frankie Valens

Former pop-singer and author, Frankie Valens, has come up with a suspenseful novel that ties some of the characters and story lines of the trilogy he has already written into a riveting story in the year 1919 that tells of a body that has to be exhumed, but things go awry when the funeral director loses his grip on the body.Learn about a hitch-hiking uncle that is presumed dead when an empty, shallow grave was found at the exact spot where he was last seen. What about the hammer wielding maniac that was admitted to a state mental hospital, but escaped? Is Uncle Spencer alive, or dead?The author admits that he is purposely trying to entice the reader into delving further into the story for answers, especially when Helga calls home just to discover that the escaped maniac could already be at her estate as a hired-hand. Will she get there in time to save her family, or will she be too late?Although this is fiction, some of the events actually happened. Frankie admits that sometimes the story can become the message, but sometimes the message can become the story.
