A Day of Hard Truths
by Thomas Gabb

Depressed Deputy Sheriff Shawn Hagen must confront the horrors haunting a small town and the sinister force he carries within himself before he stares down the barrel of his own gun. Shawn was warned to never go there, but when a missing person call comes on his first solo shift, duty overrides fear. Shawn uncovers Makitaki's haunting past that reveals a blur of his own mental demons, and as those feelings claw their way back, he realizes he's as guilty of murder as the suspect he chases.
