His protagonist, Clinical psychologist Dr. Michael Kurelek is not your average fighter of crime. But as anyone who is familiar with Magnolia Bluff knows, the police force is not always the best option when it comes to solving crimes that involve anything more than a traffic ticket. This time around Kurelek is dealing with emotions caused by the recent beating, during a home invasion, of his best friend while also having to cope with the return of a former colleague who he helped put behind bars for murder.
Richard is no stranger to writing engaging mysteries, having done so with his The Death in Sioux Lookout trilogy, his Tony Price paranormal detective mysteries, and the unforgettable paranormal mystery, The Death of Brenda Martin. Any of these are well worth your time as a reader. Richard tells his stories in such a way that he will hook you in and keep you intrigued and interested from the first page to the last.

When Clinical psychologist Dr. Michael Kurelek's elderly best friend is savagely beaten in a home invasion, rage pushes him to the limits of his emotional control.

Locked out of the investigation by the Magnolia Bluff police department; Mike goes rogue, enlisting the help of friends, family, and two troubled young women with their own reason for vengeance.
