He's now a threat to the malignant ambitions pursued behind the stark concrete walls of the facility high in the foothills on the edge of town. Alan can trust no one, especially the police...because beneath the illusion of tranquility and quaintness, Bonduel is hiding dark secrets. Alan is alone with his paranoia and dread. Aloneexcept for the gunman who just smashed through his front door. Relentlessly hunted by a proficient killer, Alan must summon the courage to ignore his fears and self-doubt. And he'd better do it quickly-the night is waning, and by morning he will likely be dead. The Spiral, a novel of suspense, will leave readers turning pages well into the darkest hours before dawn.
