Neverlast - Paperback

by Leeland Lake (Author)

When Matt Marinek's promising pro baseball career ended prematurely, he came home to Tucson and a job as youth athletic director at the Community Center. Now, eight years later- his marriage wavering- his world is unraveling again. A burst of jealousy drives Matt to seek out a boxing buddy from the other side of town. When gravel-voiced Vaughn McIntyre offers a "therapy" promising to alleviate Matt's anguish, he goes along, relying on athletic training methods and visualization techniques to "imagine" his wife out of his life. Now, Matt's in police custody, facing life in prison for ordering double murders he claims were "make-believe." Neverlast is a gripping account of abandonment and betrayal that becomes a first-rate mystery in Leeland Lake's newest page-turning crime novel. Crime/Fiction: 289 pages
