“I am so honored to be creating art for such an important series highlighting some of the best underrepresented voices in the genre,” said cover artist Lynne Hansen. “For 12 HOURS, I wanted to bring the reader immediately into the main character’s tragedy. A broken car window, two mysterious figures running away, and we’re off! What’s going on here? L. Marie Wood is about to take you on a wild ride!”

Book Description

The cabbie only remembers taking a break, pulling over in an alley to catch both his breath and the sunrise. His windshield shatters, and two people dash away. He tries to scream, to move, but his neck won’t turn. He can only stare at the cab’s dirty ceiling. Finally, a deliveryman calls the cops. Surely, they’ll arrive soon, but we’re pinned in place right along with him as he tries to puzzle it all out.

In this second installment of the CSAP novella series, award-winning author L. Marie Wood uses her descriptive powers to bring us fully into one incident in a person’s life, and hold us there, transfixed, until we see it all, crystal clear.
