Dark Ties

By Mark Dame

Two years after being attacked by a psychotic fan, Ken Simmons has finally released a new novel. It’s the biggest commercial success of his career and Ken should be ecstatic. But happiness is hard to come by with the killer he created haunting his dreams.
Meanwhile, a thousand miles away, Sheriff Allen James is investigating a series of murders. Murders seemingly detailed by Ken’s book.
When Allen seeks Ken’s help, they discover that Ken’s book may be more than just a simple crime novel, and Ken’s connection to the killer more than just fantasy.
Ken knows better than anyone how dangerous this killer is and is not eager to get involved. However, the burden of knowledge means Ken can’t quite commit himself to the sidelines, and he finds himself reluctantly agreeing to help Allen bring him to justice.
But when the killer discovers Ken and his new bestseller, all bets are off. Ken must decide whether to run...or face a monster he once thought only existed in his mind.

"Dark Ties is twisted in the best ways. I enjoyed the macabre cat-and-mouse plot, and look forward to great things from debut author, Mark Dame."
- Jaye Wells, USA Today Bestselling author of the Sabina Kane series
