Rubric: A Taut Crime Thriller

Detective Mark Young is caustic, dark, and funny... when he’s in a good mood. If not, he’s downright dangerous—especially to himself.

Detective and family man Mark Young seems to be losing his mind as the bodies pile up around him. He stalks young women, unloads his duty weapon at shadows in the night, and worst of all, finds hacked-up children in his neighbor’s yard with no clue as to who killed them. His family has abandoned him, his neighbor is nuts, and his Captain wants his badge. Everyone seems to be against him—but they all have their own secrets as well.

Will Mark uncover the deepest secret hidden deep inside himself in time—or will everyone he cares about end up dead? Only Mark Young knows. He just doesn’t know he knows.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a pitch-black Crime Thriller, perhaps Glenn A. Bruce’s darkest yet. With his trademark gallows humor, Bruce has created a world of dark obsessions and multiple murders, laced with jokes only a homicide dick could make.
