Beschreibung

Ninety-three days ago a girl went missing, only to be found in a suitcase, two bullets behind her right ear. Hayden Fuller worked that case and now he's working another that's eerily similar: a missing young woman, no ransom note, and clues pointing to a high school guidance counselor. Fuller, an ex-hockey player drummed out of the NHL for taking salacious pix of a cheating husband (and teammate), now finds himself slipping back into Maple Leaf Gardens and clashing with a demimonde of corrupt CEOs, gangsters, prostitutes, and porn. With the help of a maverick reporter, tough guy Fuller navigates a host of double crosses and betrayals. But will he find the girl in time? 94, 95, 96 days and counting . . . "A fun thriller, and thrilling fun," says Thomas Fox Averill, author of A Carol Dickens Christmas.

Autor

In 2015 Grant Tracey turned to writing crime noir. Before that he had published nearly fifty short stories in small literary magazines and story collections. The sensibilities of his Hayden Fuller Mysteries, as well as other noir pieces, are in part indebted to the writings of Raymond Chandler, Samuel Fuller, Mickey Spillane, and Jim Thompson. Grant teaches creative writing and film at the University of Northern Iowa and edits the North American Review. In 2013 he received an Iowa Regents Award for Faculty Excellence. In 2021, he was a recipient of UNI's Graduate College Distinguished Scholar Award. In addition to writing, teaching and editing, Grant has long been active in community theater as both an actor and director. He co-hosts, with Brady Harrison and Ted Morrissey, the podcast A Lesson before Writing.
