About
What you don’t know can kill you.
Something sinister has followed Ren Larson home through the dark winding roads of Los Angeles. Since he began investigating a series of murders, it has made its presence known. It murmurs in shadowed hallways. It watches from mirrors and whispers to his six-year-old child. It waits. His doctor says he’s got a case of war nerves. His housekeeper warns of a malevolent spirit, maybe only folklore from her Caribbean childhood. But no one can stop the foul thing, she says, until it devours the soul for which it hungers--a soul that has ripened with a secret sin.
Praise for this book
"Crooked doesn't begin to describe the depth, texture, and complexity of the story line in One Crooked Thing. What's real? What's imagined? And what's beyond imagining, but must be believed anyway? In this intricately developed tale of the psychological and the supernatural, Timothy Roderick has woven together strands from Renaissance Germany, the timeless Caribbean, and mid-20th-century America into a novel that will leave the reader breathless, wondering what might creep out of their own closet, basement, or mind."★★★★★
"One Crooked Thing captures the reader's imagination right from the first page and maintains the suspense up until the last. This is a skillfully woven together tale that moves back and forth in time and looks at the unfolding story from many points of view. Who is telling the truth and which characters can be trusted? It is the search for those answers that makes the book so very hard to put down. A gripping read." ★★★★★
