Eternity's Grasp is a psychological thriller following a reclusive Omaha, Nebraska native whose quiet existence conceals an extraordinary darkness. Told as an unreliable confessional narrative, the novel explores obsession, denial, and the fragile boundary between the mundane and the monstrous.
Meet professional gambler Paul Pasternak. Sharp dresser, drives a nice sportscar, pays his taxes on time, tips well. Never left Omaha and rarely misses a day playing ponies at the track. Everyone there knows him, but he knows nobody really sees him. This truly invisible man has been killing women since he was a teenager.
When the tall, lovely, brunette beauty, Marlene Riggs struts into the racetrack bar, Paul's countenance changes. Maybe she is the one. Exactly who he needs, whether he knows it or not. A reason to stop killing. Maybe now, he can stop.
Until somebody murders Marlene.
The FBI. The funeral. The confusion when another invisible man appears. And Paul, for the first time ever, is now seen as a suspect.
How will he play his hand to win this one?
