About this Book

Print Excerpt


'I do not see why not,' Sandow said, finally eyeing Kemp, who felt as if an icicle had been planted in his chest.

Sandow clapped his hands together. 'What an interesting array of questions. I thank you for your kindness and hospitality and wish you all the best for the New Year.'

The strongman made his way off the stage. The curtains dropped and the townsfolk collected their purses and canes from the floor but Colton Kemp was already out the door and running.
