Spotlight: Mother Howl by Craig Clevenger

A compelling literary crime that follows the son of a serial murderer who changes his identity in a bid to escape his past.

The arrest of his father for a series of unspeakable crimes shattered Lyle Edison’s suburban teenage life. There was no way to pick up the pieces, so he ran. Now at last, after years of hiding under a false name to escape his father’s wicked legacy, Lyle has begun to build a future with the woman he loves.

But after an encounter with an unworldly stranger named Icarus who seems to know Lyle’s secrets – a homeless man with a questionable grip on reality who claims to be a messenger for the Divine, Lyle is set on a perilous new path.

Confronting Icarus means coming face to face with his own past, forcing Lyle to make a choice that threatens the fragile façade he has created, with his future and his new family hanging in the balance.
