Teaser: Detective
Michael Bailey is a man haunted by the past and tormented by the present. As an
officer of the law it’s his job to protect those in his city. Then why have things
gone array? Failures tend to find Bailey at every turn and each crime he cannot
bring to justice, each life he is unable to save, becomes another nail in his
coffin. The only thing that seems to be left is the bottle, but even alcohol
has long become something Bailey can’t handle. As the murders continue to pile
up one man, George Graham, keeps ending up on the short list of suspects. Is he
really just a middle aged shop owner living out his days in solitude after the death
of his mother? Or is it more likely that George simply can’t control himself, can’t
take the agony of his rejections and shortcomings? Something is lurking beneath
his exterior and it’s more sinister than anyone can imagine…
Why
you’ll Love it: “Hell
to Pay” is a story that skips the flowery lead in and dives right in. It’s a
lengthier read and well worth spending a few afternoons with. A suspense
thriller intricately weaved with supernatural; the novel will have you
questioning everything you think you know about reality. “Hell to Pay” is frightening, with demons,
and ghosts and shadows lurking around each corner. It is heavy on all of its
aspects, drama, tension, and action, which truly make this into a memorable
tale.
Did
I like it? : I found the novel particularly enjoyable as
a suspense, thriller buff myself, “Hell to Pay” makes an excellent addition to
my book collection. I felt like the author really knew where he was going with
the story from beginning to end and each part left me wanting for the next. The
stranger the story became the more I found myself wanting to know more. Bailey
is a fantastic lead, and I felt that author made good use of the supporting
characters. Antagonist, George, was perhaps my favorite; I could figure him out
in the beginning, and I was completely enthralled with what he developed into.
