Written by Jason W. Blair, ‘Desperate Shadows’ proves that not every small town is as welcoming as it may first appear. In fact, in the town of Brockton, one dirty look or quip could have custodial results. Removing readers from real life and allowing them to experience a world far from the norm, the novel is resonating with fans from coast to coast.

Bellefonte, PA -- (SBWire) -- 12/05/2013 --While most new authors use their first release to simply test the literary waters, Jason W. Blair is proof that a debut novel can also help a newly-published writer storm onto the scene with gusto. The recent release of ‘Desperate Shadows’ has gripped readers across the nation – offering them a literary escape where crime must be avoided at all costs.

Blair’s unlikely yet wholly-unique narrative gives the cozy small town an entirely new image.

Synopsis:

Welcome to Brockton!

A typical American small town - or so it would seem. But to the citizens of this rural mid-Atlantic community, it is anything but normal. It is the type of town where jaywalking, an unfavorable appearance, or an absent-minded slip of the tongue could criminalize you…for life!

Mort and Emily Avery find out just how difficult life in Brockton can be when they stop in for dinner at the local diner. Before their first day in town is over, they find themselves looking at life in prison-for canceling their order.

Then, as if spurred by the newcomers' arrival, the townsfolk find themselves caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

Who can bring order to a town caught in the throes of iniquity?

As the author explains, his narrative will appeal to readers from all walks of life.

“While it is laden with lots of action, suspense and drama – it is purposely written to be read by anyone of any age. There’s no vulgarity or content that parents would disapprove of. This goes a long way to broadening the appeal of any novel,” says Blair.

Continuing, “As a new and emerging author it is important not to exclude any portion of the global readership. However, this doesn’t mean it is a run-of-the-mill story. Come and see for yourself, you’ll find yourself living life noticing just how many things you do that could land you in one of Brockton’s prisons!”

With the book expected to see increasing demand, interested readers are urged to purchase their copies as soon as possible.
