Fletcher Wise, a seasoned detective of the Prescott Police Department, was not having a good day. All he wanted was to leave work a little early and get a much-needed drink at his favorite pub. But when a shocking murder strikes the sleepy town, Fletcher found himself interrogating a young woman who told a story that defied the very laws of nature.

The evidence was cut and dry and Renee's story was full of glaring holes—not to mention what she claims happened was impossible. But Renee insisted she was telling the truth. And as Fletcher tried to understand why she would tell such a far-fetched story, a second murder occurs. Under eerily similar circumstances, a second woman tells the same bizarre story.

As Fletcher investigates the nearly identical and equally impossible stories, he begins to wonder, against his better judgment, whether the two women might be telling the truth. But if he admitted such, the other officers would think he was crazy. And even if he did believe them, how could he ever prove the impossible might actually be possible?

Patrik grew up in the southwest and presently lives in Idaho. Earlier in life he almost exclusively read fantasy novels but has since broadened his horizon and enjoys many genres, both fiction and nonfiction. He has wanted to write a book for a long time but never really had any ideas. Then, one random day, when he least expected it, he had an inkling and started writing. In his spare time, he enjoys hanging out with his family and entertaining his exuberant dog Pearl (or the Black Pearl when she is naughty, and yes, she is black). He also enjoys a good beer. He occasionally brews it as well, but he's not nearly as good as Yolken.
