Kill Your Darling - Clay McLeod Chapman

SHIPS IN 3-10 BUSINESS DAYS. The acclaimed author of Ghost Eaters and What Kind of Mother comes to Bad Hand Books. The body of Glenn Partridge's 15-year-old son was discovered in a vacant lot nearly forty years ago. The police are still no closer to finding the murderer decades later. Glenn refuses to let the memory of his son fade-or let anyone else within this small working-class community forget. His long-suffering wife signs him up for an amateur fiction-writing workshop at the local library, just to get him out of the house and out of his own head. Rule number Write what you know-so Glenn decides to share his son's story. The class offers him a chance to make sense of a senseless crime and find the fictional closure life never provided. But as Glenn's story takes on a life of its own, someone from the past is compelled to come out of hiding before he reaches... The End.
