Paperback. In a quick minute in a public men's room, an unsuspecting young boy is wrenched from home and family by two cold-blooded opportunists. In light of this and more, Carter Conley has more than a few compelling reasons to keep popping prescriptions drugs. Her sister Patty has never recovered from the abduction of her son Si. Carter's husband Max was brutally taken from her in a car crash. Little does she know, but her troubles have just begun. False Perceptions is the debut thriller by C.J. Evans that combines intrigue, wildly inventive plot twists, and even a good dose of hilarity, which come together to deliver a thoroughly enthralling tale of love, betrayal, and more than a few devastatingly false perceptions. Still reeling from the tragic death of Max, Carter plods limply through life in Jennings, Louisiana with her beloved dog Pip, and it's all she can do to make it to the grocery store to try to keep from wasting away. However, her shaken psyche is just about to suffer another blow. The FBI contacts Patty with the news that they have located her son Si, who was whisked out of the men's room in a park years back. His return home is not the extent of the revelation. Carter is bent on getting to the truth of the matter. She is quickly drawn deeper into a world of savage players including Marvin Sneed, the head of a kidnapping ring, and his vicious counterpart Carla, who have cooked up more than a few sinister schemes involving young children. She soon discovers that nothing in her life is quite what it seems. That includes her so-called marriage as well as the confounding circumstances surrounding the loss of her missionary parents when she and Patty were teenagers. At the same time, Carter finds surprising support in an affable bartender named Drew, who she meets when retrieving Patty from the bar where he works. However, he isn't quite what he appears to be either. In the midst of old wounds and new dangers, she may just find a place of renewed hope, rich humor, and plenty of heart with the drop-dead handsome Drew- if she can make it to that place alive. For a spellbinding story that serves up laughs along the way, False Perceptions is a must for mystery lovers who like their thrillers with a twist of wit. This item is printed on demand.

Informazioni sull?autore

C.J. Evans started taking creative writing classes two years ago, and after the very first assignment, she was hooked. Encouraged by her teacher to write short stories, she began getting her thoughts on paper, and after finishing the first class, the characters Carter and her sister Patty were born. They ultimately found their way into her debut full-length thriller, False Perceptions. When Evans sat down at the computer to write her story, everyone in the novel came to life, consuming her thoughts throughout the day. The author currently lives in Twinsburg, Ohio with her husband Tom, and sons, Zachary and Samuel McBroom.
