Description
Some mysteries are better left unsolved.
It's been fifteen years since Mandy Reasoner was murdered-a crime for which her boyfriend, Duke, was convicted. But when best friends Betty and June discover that Mandy was June's long-forgotten aunt, they decide to pursue the mystery. Galvanized by the growing community who doubts the evidence against Duke and is rallying to free him, the two girls start on a path into a world of drugs and violence that will bring them not only to Duke himself but smack into Nickel, a canny, tough-as-nails teenage P.I. attempting to keep his own life together. They make a good team, but Nickel is on his own mission of revenge, and the web of lies surrounding Mandy's murder is growing ever thicker.
The closer they get to the truth, the less clear the path becomes. Will they survive the fight to bring Mandy's killer to justice?
Award-winning author Aric Davis brings back his captivating anti-hero, Nickel, in Tunnel Vision, a work of edgy noir about unlikely friendship and long-overdue justice.

Person
Born in Ithaca, New York, Aric Davis has lived most of his life in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He is the author of The Fort and the acclaimed YA novel Nickel Plated, called by Gillian Flynn a "dark but humane, chilling and sometimes heart-breaking work of noir" and given a "Top 10" Booklist designation in 2011. An aficionado of punk rock and other music, Davis worked as a body piercer for seventeen years before putting down the needles to write full time. He and his wife and daughter live in the chilly Midwest, where they enjoy rollercoasters, hockey, and cold weather.
