Here Comes the Night

A psychological crime thriller, as dark and twisting as a suspenseful noir film, told against the background of the stockyards in Oklahoma City.

At one time ex-football-star Buck Dearmore had it all: power, adoration, a seemingly bright future. But that was long ago. Now the only life he considers worth living is with Angie, his lover, and the wife of his boss.

After their plan to kill the mean-spirited bank president succeeds, their path to happiness seems clear . . .for mere moments. As Buck walks away from the crime, henchmen carjack him, setting off a series of fatal miscommunications.

Then, as daylight turns to dawn, a dangerous parolee impulsively take Buck’s custom Mustang on a bloody joyride, implicating him in a horrific crime he didn't do.

There’s no way to know who’ll survive until dawn, and of those that do, who’ll be charged with which crime. Hang on tight, Here Comes the Night. A dark, steamy suspense thriller.
