The Messenger

Adam Calloway has left the violence of his old life behind and built a new one for himself in southern France. But he fears he’s become complacent, and that his past might have caught up with him here in this rural idyll. Death is going to come calling, he’s certain of it — it’s just a question of when and in what form, and whether or not Adam will be ready to meet it.

"The Messenger" first appeared in the December 2014 edition of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine.
