Psycho-Tropics by Dorian Box

Writer's Digest Award Winner in Genre Fiction

A high school reunion in a South Florida town unburies the past (literally) in this unhinged tale of darkness and light, revenge and redemption. Lottery-winning surfer Danny Teakwell seems to be living the life, but he's been hiding a dark secret, punishing himself for two decades. Now he's hit rock bottom. So he thinks. The ghost in his closet shows up at the reunion, along with a cheerful psychopath posing as a classmate. What's their connection? The imposter's intricate plan to avenge the past launches Danny on a twisted race to save his skin and, more important, the woman he betrayed a long time ago. The odds aren't good. He has three days and his main allies are a pill-popping lawyer, crusty barkeep and seven-year-old embalming expert. Heart and dark humor combine with page-turning action and a twisty plot that will keep you guessing.
