Author Bio
M. H. David was raised on a farm in southern Indiana and spent twenty-five years in the construction industry. He has written and published numerous works under different pseudonyms through both traditional and independent channels, including comic books and graphic novels. His more recent books include mystery and thriller titles like The Gouge, The Blue Hole, and Lie Ever So Quietly. David's writing is influenced by his own experiences growing up—some of which are exaggerated, and some which are far too close to the truth. Although David is warmed by the thought of readers enjoying his work, he maintains that he writes stories for his own enjoyment.

The freshly slain bodies of two teenage girls have been discovered in the woods of Cypress Creek, and the methods by which the girls were killed are identical to those found nearly twenty-two years earlier on his father's victims. The now retired detective who worked the first case has long suspected Carson Bates knew more than what he revealed during interrogations; now is his chance to prove it.
