Redemption's Shadow

By M.E. Astroth

Detective Lieutenant Dennis Knox committed his first murder at the age of fifteen, ending over a decade of physical abuse at the hands of his father. The patricide sealed his surrender to the voice, the malevolent conscience that provided him with succor as a child, companionship as a teenager, and a source of madness that had sustained him through three decades of murder.

Now middle aged and adrift, Knox meets Eva Dickens, a local business owner who bears an uncanny resemblance to the mother who abandoned him in childhood. Their chance encounter leads into an affair that promises to both heal his past and redefine his future.

But while Knox seeks his deliverance from the voice that continues to drive him to murder, he is also leading the investigations into the mounting homicides. Desperate to avoid exposure to his wife, his partner and his colleagues, Knox devises a plan to use the killing spree for his ultimate escape and embarks on a path that will forever change the lives of everyone within his orbit.
