Description
'The Beautiful Dead End' is a visceral crime thriller that takes the reader on an existential journey to the "other side" and almost back again. In a bizarre, shadowy interzone populated by disturbing characters, our anti-hero confronts the dark secrets of his past, and comes face to face with the consequences of having lived an unexamined life.

"The novel is filled with such eloquently wored moments. The reader is constantly torn between the desire to savour each delicious page and the urgency to move onto the story that still remains."- Times Colonist
