A destitute young man. Wanted dead by a criminal mastermind. Will he prove to be the downfall of the psychopath?
Dylan Roche is shocked. The twenty-five-year-old management trainee is astonished by the visit of an attorney. After years of blissful ignorance of his heritage, he is leery of the invitation to visit his wealthy maternal grandmother.
Wishing his mother was alive to advise him, Dylan sets off to investigate the family’s history, despite his feeling of foreboding. But with the sinister maniac creeping at each turn, he fears his mother’s faith in him was grossly misplaced.
Will Dylan find the secret hidden by his mother and survive the attack by the lunatic?
Amazon Review:
I typically read instructional material pertaining to my occupation and the Bible. I love the format and the description the Author provided for the main characters. I could envision the Mirror Estate and all the rooms. It was difficult to put down until reading the next day. The cover certainly assisted in placing me into the story. Hope to see many more of these by the Author. - Ken

“I understand that rent is due on the first of the month and it’s now the eighth, but could you please give me some time to get everything in order? In case you didn’t know, my mom passed away a few days ago.” Dylan listened for a moment, and then said, “Thank you, thank you very much.”
He disconnected. As if I didn’t have enough bills to pay! he thought. And he was still trying to come to terms with losing his mother. It was at times such as this when he didn’t want to be an adult with all the responsibilities, especially paying bills and trying to balance the budget.
Staring at the spreadsheet on his laptop didn’t make the
budget balance. After graduating from college just about two years ago, he had moved back in with his mom to save money while paying off student loans. It felt as though her presence lingered in the living and kitchen spaces. He envisioned her spirit hovering by the refrigerator, perusing the doctor’s reminder magnet to confirm the date of her upcoming appointment. “Pick up your socks!” “Put the dishes in the dishwasher!” She
used to yell at him for leaving things all over the place. Now, he glanced at the mess in the kitchen sink and decided to clean up.
His mom might not have bothered to decorate the apartment, but she’d kept her place neat and tidy.
It had always been just his mom and him. Mimi Roche had worked hard as a waitress to support them. Time and time again, he remembered her kneeling by her bed at night to pray. They’d had happy days in the apartment, celebrating his significant events such as confirmation and graduation. She had been extremely proud of him when he’d snagged one of the few coveted management trainee spots in the two-year program of a
well-known regional property management company.
The buzzing of his phone interrupted his reminiscing. Not wanting to answer any more calls from the landlord or loan officers, he glanced at the screen, expecting to swipe the decline icon. Instead, he saw it was Tommy. They had been best friends since grade school. They’d gone on to the same college but pursued different career paths.
“Yo,” Dylan said.
“Hey, are you still moping around?”
“No, I don’t mope around.”
“Are you dressed? My guess is that you’re still in your shorts and T-shirt. It’s past noon.”
He glanced down at his shorts and T-shirt. “So? I have time off until tomorrow. Bereavement leave.”
“Yeah, I know. But really, how’re you holding up?”
“Meh.”
“Tell you what. Why don’t you get dressed and come meet me for lunch? I have something for you."
