Multiple Mysteries Surrounding Two Brothers and Their Violent Past Lead to Chilling, Murderous Resolution in New Book
AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB) April 25, 2019 -- A woman’s disappearance and an unsolved murder lead to a camp led by two brothers and filled with ex-cons. As the police and media investigations intensify, so do a series of assaults, leading to a final scene that turns all expectations and suspicions on their head in Tom Hogan’s new novel “Left for Alive” (published by Archway Publishing).
The story begins with Carol, an investigative reporter, on the trail of radical attorney Donna Fairchild, missing for three years. Her investigation leads her to a group of ex-cons and political refugees living in an abandoned lumber camp. They and their mysterious leader — united by a series of unsolved murders and sexual assaults — are the objects of police and media investigations. As the violence and investigations accelerate, the multiple mysteries surrounding this group are resolved in a series of jarring events, culminating in a shocking, violent finale.
“The story centers around self-definition,” Hogan says, ‘specifically how much our pasts and our families can determine who we are today. When our ‘built community’ of friends comes into conflict with our early family life, who prevails? And how much do episodes in our past—especially the violent ones—shape who we are today, as well as what we’re capable of.”
