Tulsa Police Detective, Kenny Elliot is called to the scene of a bizarre murder
that is hauntingly familiar. Viewing the site brings up terrifying memories
of the unsolved murders of his friends Jonathan and Marcia who were killed
while they were all still in high school.
A shiny necklace dangles from the mirror of the car where Lagayle Zimmerman,
the new victim is discovered. Back in the past another necklace dangled from
the mirror of the car where Jonathan and Marcia were discovered. Even though
most of his hometown believed Kenny was the killer, no charges were ever brought
against him and he quietly left town hoping to never return.
With suspicion pointed his way once again and haunted by day with memories
of the past and at night by troubling dreams Kenny risks everything including
his job, his love, his life and his sanity to find the truth that is buried
somewhere in his past.
Bob Avey has written a terrific mystery filled with engaging characters and
a taught storyline that will have you wondering who done it until the very
end. Twisted Perception is a story about a brutal crime but also about how
no matter how hard you try you can’t outrun your past. Sometimes you
just have to confront it head on in order to get to the truth no matter how
bleak the truth might be. This is Bob Avey’s debut mystery novel. Hopefully
we will be reading more from him soon.
