Tortured by the memories of his incestuous upbringing and the specter of his deviant mother, Adam Parker has decided to take all the pain and anguish of his life and "give it back." Adam's madness plunges the city of Austin into a nightmare of senseless murder. The city is left to wonder who is the menace that calls himself "D" and how can he perpetrate his heinous crimes while leaving so little evidence.

Chosen to end the nightmare is Sergeant Stanley Bodinger. He's a seasoned detective who's bent on tracking down the serial madman. Alcoholic ex-cop Frank Castro is also on the case. Inspired by the grace of a wealthy client, the private investigator sees it's time to change his ways. Just when things are looking up, Frank's world becomes chaos.

Azure Dying is the story of three men. Three men set on a collision course to destruction...of which only one may survive.

"Readers will be unable to put Azure Dying down. Extending far beyond realism to a realm most people never experience, and probably do not care to contemplate, the book takes readers on a twisted journey into abuse, alcoholism and serial killing. A disturbing, well-written page-turner." - Kirkus Reviews
