End of Story: A Novel of Suspense

Aspiring author Ivy Seidel accepts a part-time position teaching writing to a group of convicted criminals hoping the experience will add depth and darkness to her own work.

But in the haunting writings of charismatic inmate Vance Harrow she discovers a talent possibly greater than her own. And in the startling, disturbing stories Harrow has to tell, Ivy finds a dangerous new purpose—and a terrifying temptation that lures her into an inescapable world of shadows.

Inside the prison library, guarded by officers under humming fluorescent lights, Harrow captivates the room with brutal stories of an ice storm and a fatal crash. Convinced that his stories conceal an alibi, she begins investigating the armed robbery that put him away for twenty-five years.

Her search pulls her north toward Montreal and into the path of men determined to keep three hundred thousand dollars buried. As prison tensions ignite into bloodshed, Ivy risks everything to untangle the truth about the woman he left behind.
