Fresh FIction Box Not To Miss
Marc Wayne | A Thrilling Sci-fi Mystery

With protagonists of a blind man and a woman who struggles with demons from her past, it’s structured like a mystery novel with strong action sequences and takes place in a near-future Earth.   How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I had the idea for the opening chase scene—where the blind guy gets away—long before I started writing. Boston’s T system and the varied towns that comprise its metropolitan area fit the novel’s needs perfectly.
