Nessus (book)

Mike Hughes has one last case to solve — did his son Shawn commit murder?

That's the question that drives Hughes throughout "Nessus," a thriller about a father and son on different sides of the same crime. When Hughes finds his soon-to-be daughter-in-law Mary attacked and left for dead, he immediately thinks of Shawn, his crime-ridden son who had a tumultuous relationship with Mary.

To solve the crime, Hughes chases down leads and soon entangles himself in a web of deception, manipulation and lies. And soon, everything, even the attack on this young woman, may not be as it seems.
