Cold Comforts

by Tom Piccirilli

After years toiling in obscurity, Thomas, a crime fiction author, is finally able to leave personal tragedy and poverty behind. A Hollywood benefactor has offered him a chance at success and celebrity. But deadly trouble looms when a beautiful woman comes between them. And Thomas discovers that the pain that drives him and ghosts haunting him aren't content with staying in the past, but begin to appear in the night at every turn.

Incapable of distinguishing the dead from the living, his life from fantasy, Thomas tries to navigate his way through a bloodstained landscape of lust and murder.
