The Gap--------------------------Mystery Novel---------------------452 pages
Could you murder someone and not know it?
Thatβs the dilemma of Clint Richards, a teacher at a suburban school near Philadelphia. He was close to the crime scene at the time of the murder, and his fingerprints were on the bedroom door of the victim. But Clint has no memory of ever being in Cynthia Carterβs residence. There seems to be a time gap that he canβt account for.
Richards becomes an amateur investigator trying to clear his name but only gets himself in deeper. Has he blocked out a horrible crime that heβs committed, or are there sinister forces at work framing him for the murder? Incidents from Clintβs past begin to surface telling him that heβs blocked out other parts of his life that heβs wanted to forget.
Soon other murders occur with similar gaps in the suspectsβ memories. Itβs as if some kind of alien force has taken over peopleβs minds, forcing them to do heinous crimes. Richards, though, believes that thereβs a human answer, and he searches for something that will link the murders to each other. Richards loses two girlfriends and nearly his mind as he pursues the answer.
What he finds out about his own past sends him reeling. The answer is closer to himself than he realizes. Possibly some gaps should not be filled in.
A suburban Mormon girl wrestling with doubt and dying of thirst plays hooky from her church youth group in order to experience some illicit culture. Β
She told no one. Β
It was just going to be a one-off experiment with disobedience...
What she did not expect to find was a rich source of soul-sustaining beauty, far more powerful than any scriptures she had ever read.
