Learn moreThe dark heart of the city is on display in Sarah Cain’s gripping debut thriller, The 8th Circle.
A year ago, Danny Ryan lost his wife and son in a car accident. He’s still reeling from the tragedy when Michael Cohen, his friend and fellow journalist, drives into the pond in front of his house with a bullet through his gut.
With Michael’s death ruled a murder, Danny must work to get his name crossed off the list of suspects, and that means digging into Michael’s last article, an exposé of the twisted side of Philadelphia politics. But powerful people are ready to kill to protect what Michael was about to uncover, and if Danny’s not careful, he’ll be next.
Sarah Cain started writing for nonprofits after graduating from Smith College, and then moved on to public relations and politics. She raised three children and began writing fiction. In 2013 she won her two flash fiction competitions, and in 2014 met her agent, Rene Fountain, at Thrillerfest in New York City. In 2015 her debut novel, The 8th Circle, was picked up by Crooked Lane Press. Sarah lives in the Philadelphia suburbs with her husband, a former political consultant, and her ill tempered cat, and spends a great deal of time contemplating murder.
Ray Chase graduated from the University of Southern California with a BA in theater and a minor in cinema and television. He has since worked extensively as a voice-over artist. Among his dozens of audiobook narrations are Ian Douglas’ Heritage trilogy and Robert Olen Butler’s Christopher Marlowe Cobb thrillers.
