Tom Greer left Myerton six months after his wife Joan’s death, determined to leave the painful memories behind. Ten years later, now-Father Tom Greer returns for a four-month assignment as the temporary pastor of Saint Clare’s Parish in Myerton. His only desire is to serve God’s people quietly then leave again.

But the past won’t leave Father Tom alone…

When he uncovers Joan’s long-buried secrets–secrets he believes point to her killer–Father Tom seeks help from the local police. But Detective Helen Parr is a woman he once loved–and whose heart he broke twenty years before. She refuses to reopen the investigation, so Father Tom turns to an ambitious reporter with her own agenda. When the reporter winds up dead, he must work with Helen to catch her killer–and potentially Joan’s.

When Officer Lauren Starkly finds an unconscious woman posed as a corpse, she learns that the offense mirrors two other recent assaults. A serial rapist with a “death” fetish is at large in San Francisco. Lauren is determined to bring him down, but as she gets closer, the predator takes notice. The hunter becomes the hunted.

Includes bonus chapters of Starr’s novels Twisted City and Hard Feelings

Things aren’t going so well for Richie Segal. His prospects at the job are pretty miserable and, what’s more humiliating, his wife’s prospects at her job are pretty good. Richie knows he’s a good salesman, but he just can’t seem to land an account. And he’s starting to drink again. And worry about whether Paula’s seeing that old high school flame, or maybe someone new. It’s a little early, at thirty-four, for a mid-life crisis, but that’s pretty much what it feels like. And there’re those unwelcome memories of the neighborhood bully, Michael Rudnick and what he did to Richie when he was thirteen. Richie Segal’s feeling, well, abused.

Just when Richie’s about as low as he can get, he runs into Rudnick on the street and knows exactly what he needs to do. And suddenly things seem to be going much better. That is until they get much, much worse. In the classic tradition of Jim Thompson and James M. Cain, Hard Feelings is novel that lets us into the mind of an ordinary guy capable of things that even he couldn’t have imagined.
