Description
The arrest of his father for a series of unspeakable crimes shattered Lyle Edison's suburban teenage life. There was no way to pick up the pieces, so he ran. Now at last, after years of hiding under a false name to escape his father's wicked legacy, Lyle has begun to build a future with the woman he loves.
But after an encounter with an unworldly stranger named Icarus who seems to know Lyle's secrets - a homeless man with a questionable grip on reality who claims to be a messenger for the Divine, Lyle is set on a perilous new path.
Confronting Icarus means coming face to face with his own past, forcing Lyle to make a choice that threatens the fragile facade he has created, with his future and his new family hanging in the balance.

Reviews / Votes
"don't make the mistake of sleeping on this." "Truly a stunning work." "fearless and unshakeable" "this book will devour you" "Couldn't keep my nose out of this one." "brilliant, original, and genre defying" "Though this story doesn't mention cypress trees or bayous, Lyle's attempts to reconcile the blood in his veins with the content of his character bring to mind the best Southern gothic fiction."More details
