Description: War changed Clinton Brown. Permanently disfigured by a tragic military accident, he's struggling to find satisfaction from life as a rewrite man for Pacific City's Courier. Shame has led him to isolate himself from closest friends and even his estranged, still faithfully devoted wife, Ellen. Only the bottle keeps him company. But now Ellen has returned to Pacific City, and she's ready to do whatever it takes to get Brown back. Even if it means exposing his deepest secret -- a painful truth Brown would do anything to stop from coming to light. He'd kill a whole lot of people just to keep this one thing quiet -- and soon enough, the bodies just happen to start piling up around him.
