A PSYCHOLOGICAL CRIME THRILLER

the debut novel

from John Marty

PREY

Excerpt, chapter 1: "His first murder wasn’t really a murder. Not in the Murder in the First Degree sense, where a jury of his peers would no doubt send him to get his hair fried on the electric chair. Of course, there was a dead body and there was no doubt that he had killed him. No, it was more of an accident, not a murder. At least that’s what he told himself. But that “accident” paved the road—no, call it a highway—that led inevitably toward the monster he would become."

Set in the San Francisco Bay Area, this noir crime thriller plunges a golden boy into a gut-wrenching internal struggle against the depths of human depravity.
