<p>Mob "troubleshooter" Kevin Markinson returns in this thrilling prequel to "Lead Poisoning." Kevin Markinson hasn't been broken... yet. Serving as a Marine sniper in Vietnam didn't make him snap. Working as a CIA assassin didn't faze him. Doing time in prison for a crime he didn't commit was hard, but he managed to keep his tough and cool facade in place. But when his mob boss decides to break him out of prison, he begins to discover the cracks in his emotional armor as things go from bad to worse. Little fissures open larger stress fractures as first he is injured and then taken hostage by a gang of thugs-along with a troubled teenage boy. With law enforcement closing in, can Markinson keep himself from falling completely apart long enough to protect the kid and avoid a return trip to prison? "An action-packed tale of one man's search for the truth, and his desperate escape from injustice. It's a tale of love, hope, and decency in the face of almost-certain death. Kevin Markinson is a truly unique hero, flawed and dangerous, but with an unbreakable strain of nobility that makes this story so compelling." -Mark Pryor, author, "Hugo Marston" series and "As She Lay Sleeping" "'Stress Factures' is a fine criminal novel involving society's outcasts - an accused killer and a young, troubled boy - who help each other and learn from each other as they try to make their way through a hostile world. With twists and turns and fine plotting and characterization, the pace never lets up. Very much recommended " - Brendan DuBois, author, "Fatal Harbor" "Fugitive Kevin Markinson comes back into the spotlight in this suspenseful story of a father and husband who acts with a moral compass even while trying to save himself from the law. New England noir with a conscience, the prequel to Lead Poisoning is a fast-moving story that keeps you up nights until you finish and leaves you asking, 'Was he wrongly accused or not?'" Edith Maxwell, award-winning author of "'Til Dirt Do Us Part," and "Speaking of Murder" (as Tace Baker) "Seymour skillfully juggles three storylines, dazzling your attention with Kevin, Sally, and Danny as their paths cross and intersect. Then she fires a shot from the woods." - Stephen D. Rogers, author, "Shot to Death" and "Three-Minute Mysteries"</p>
