GENRE: Mystery/Suspense. LENGTH: 40 chapters (63,700 words). SYNOPSIS: As Greg Tenorly was about to marry the woman of his dreams, he figured he was the luckiest man in the world. Until he got an anonymous phone call warning him about his bride’s shady past.

Larry had been lucky all his life. He had everything he could possibly want. Except a publishing contract. So, the fact that his first six mystery novels had been rejected did not dissuade him from starting on book seven. Ironically, he finally found success when he began to publish an online account of his own downward spiral into depravity and murder.

Is luck real? Or is it just an illusion? Some people have to find out the hard way.
