Synopsis
Jake Conason is the Golden Boy of Jefferson University in St. Louis. His future is big and promising--top grades, a gorgeous girlfriend, membership in the most popular fraternity on campus, and he's headed toward law school. But when one night's drunken indiscretion with a woman he barely knows leads to murder, Jake discovers just what he's capable of to cover up his past and insure his own future success. A chilling, addictive first thriller, already optioned for the movies, that delves deep into the heart of an anti-hero and discovers the Darkness in Him.

Review
Nothing is as important to Jake Conason as getting into an Ivy League law school--not his fraternity brothers, his girlfriend, his honor, or his ethics. That makes it particularly hard for the reader to care whether Jake gets away with murder--not just once, or even twice. This inauspicious debut takes the word antihero at face value--there's nothing heroic about this golden boy gone bad, even though Lyons labors mightily to show us more than the murderous side of his character. While written competently enough, this first novel doesn't do justice to its author's narrative skills--the plotting and suspense are minimal, and the denouement less than satisfying, since we want to see Jake get his comeuppance and he never really does. --Jane Adams
