Award-winning crime novelist Rob Riley takes a sharp turn into dark, psychological territory with his new short story, The Do-Over. Bill Simons, a man who needs to change his life and location, moves to New York City to “begin again” – in many ways. A professional and a gentleman, he is off to a fine start, when he meets and begins a relationship with a beautiful woman. The past oozes into and pollutes the present, and the changes he is forced to make bring a do-over of the nightmare from which he had escaped.
Rob Riley's first novel, Portrait Of Murder, won the Best Police Procedural award at the 2012 Love Is Murder Mystery Conference in Chicago this past February. Dead Last, a second in the series that introduced Milwaukee-based PI Jack Blanchard, is due to be published by Orange Hat Publishing later this year.
