Publisher Notes

On a dark night in Gravity, Maine, Bobby Swift asks his best friend, Sal Erickson, "Who would you trust with your life?" What Sal doesn't know is that Bobby and his stunningly seductive wife, Noel, are planning a two million dollar scam that involves a fake heart attack and a very real burial. But at the twisted heart of the Swift's scheme lies a betrayal of horrific proportions, one that is drawing Sal Erickson into an inescapable web of seduction, lies, and deceit that will rock his small town, devastate his family, and mark Sal as a murderer.

Media Reviews

"The core of the story is the old, old one of a decent man stretched to his limits between two women, but Kimball...plots far more generously than any noir writer. The result is an edgy delight, with something for everyone but the luckless cross-plotters."
