Dark Stirs an August Breeze

Children don’t just vanish. They go somewhere, with someone, for some reason. Isaiah Asner is special. He could whip a Rubik’s Cube into shape when he was three. He shared a special language with his twin brother, Ezekiel, that only they spoke. But mostly he’s special because he knows things. Things he can’t possibly know. Isaiah also killed Zeke when they were eleven. He stood over his dying brother with his mother’s gun in his hand. The other special thing about Isaiah is he only talked to Zeke. With Zeke gone Isaiah’s silence grew ominous. No one would ever know why he did it. After a dead runaway, Nancy Jessup, is cast aside on the bank of the Snake River, Police Chief Ed Slade turns his attention back toward the enigmatic and silent teen. Isaiah scrawls ambiguous notes in his journal that leave a trail of bread crumbs to suggest he knows a lot more about Nancy Jessup’s death than anyone should. The bread crumbs drag Ed down a crooked, darkened pathway to challenge every thing he has learned to believe in. A story as much about trust, faith and loyalty as it is about the pursuit of a psychopath, "Dark Stirs an August Breeze" is the first in an anticipated series by author, Erik Goth. Goth brings 24 years of law enforcement experience, 18 as a detective, to his first novel.
