BLURB:
It's a novel well written and engaging, I was completely glued to the pages; once I started reading it, I could not put it down.
Greg wants to change his life and leave law school, only now has to find a new plan for his life. The same day reads an article about the death of a young local athlete and at home turns out that he had sent an email a few days ago: he wanted to talk to his father about a family affair. Greg wants to shed light on this case and makes discoveries really shocking.
Greg is a character well constructed and very realistic: we can easily identify with him. He has a terrible past which has to deal. He has a father who expects a lot from him, a man so busy that his family should make an appointment with him if they want to talk to him during working hours. He doesn't endorse that his son leave law school without having a backup plan.
It 's a fascinating story, full of twists, and has elements of paranormal, mystery, romance. There are some really exciting and touching parts.
Highly recommend!

EXCERPT:
MIKEL THOMAS DEAD AT 27
Greg studied the series of pictures of the same man, as a
teen in a high school basketball uniform, in a college uniform, and in a
professional one. The line for coffee at 8:30 in the morning was nearly out the
door, so it gave Greg time to flip through the story.
Mikel
Thomas, 27, was found in his West Los Angeles
home Thursday night. His wife, Nisha, found Thomas bleeding from an apparent,
self-inflicted gunshot wound when she returned home from a taping of her talk
show. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Greg caught up with the line's progress and continued to
read.
Thomas, a
professional basketball player, had a troubled career in Philadelphia ,
Miami , and Sacramento .
He attended Pasadena
High School where an
injury forced him to give up a promising football career. Thomas began playing
basketball as a junior and became a top college recruit. He attended college in
Los Angeles before being drafted to Philadelphia .
Shoulda played sports. Greg thought.
Thomas was
involved in a shooting incident that left one dead after he was traded to Miami . His repeated
altercations on and off the court led to a suspension. After a trade to Sacramento , Thomas missed part of the season for an
undisclosed medical condition following a mental evaluation in a Pasadena hospital last
Christmas. Thomas had a history of drug and alcohol incidents, but detectives
declined to comment on that being a possible cause. The investigation
continues.
Pretty standard celeb drama. Greg barely registered the
comments from the player's wife and a teammate about the shock of it all. He
caught up with the coffee line and skimmed further.
Mary
Thomas, Mikel's mother, called into a sports radio show late Thursday. When asked
if there was any indication that Thomas was in trouble, she responded. "He
kept saying that his disappearance from that Bliss bar changed him forever. It
was that crazy bar that killed him. I know it."
Disappearance? Never heard about that. How does someone like
him disappear without a word?
"Excuse me. Are you going to order or just read the
paper?" The woman growled behind him.
"Oh…uh…sorry." Greg stepped to the counter,
ordered, and added the paper. Greg went back to the story immediately. He read the
mother's quote again. How does a famous athlete disappear from a bar, and it
never makes the news? Greg shook his head as the article ended with a note
about survivors. That's it?
Greg tucked the paper under his arm, grabbed his coffee, and
headed out. Sounded pretty standard except for the disappearance thing. He
walked to his car on autopilot. What's stranger? A suicide blamed on a
disappearance or the disappearance of a celebrity that went unnoticed in La-La Land ?
