Whom do you trust when you can’t trust yourself?

The victim of a horrific crime, fifteen-year-old Joey Kowalski has bounced around in the foster care system for six years. When his only friend Luke is murdered, suspicion falls on Joey. 
As evidence mounts against him, Luke’s denim jacket appears in Joey’s closet. When he puts on the jacket, he gets visions of Luke’s murder and hears Luke’s voice in his head. Can Joey convince Luke’s father, Detective Marek, to look past his grief and help him find the real killer?

Inspiration for the story.
Over the last several years, I’ve been playing with a young adult mystery novel that was close to my heart. After querying numerous agents and publishers, I’d sort of relegated the story to the “Under the Bed” file where stories go that, for whatever reason, will never see publication.
But a friend, believing in the story, when I’d pretty much given up, submitted it to an editor who read it, liked it and thought the story worthy of publication.
All to say, that it takes a village to write a story, and the support of fellow writers and people who believe in you are invaluable.
For all my fans, readers who are the last link in the writing process, here is a sneak peek at the cover with a blurb and excerpt for you to read.
