WELCOME, N.C., May 1, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- For Will, a day of target practice would start a bizarre chain of events that would change his life and threaten his family and friends. In Cry Baby Bridge (now available through 1stBooks Library), author Matthew Kelsey presents a thriller of murder and revenge in a 1980s small town.
Cry Baby Bridge, seeped in local legend, was the place to go for target practice. But when Will and his friends see the game warden's truck blazing over the hill, they know it means trouble. An incident occurs at Cry Baby Bridge that day that leaves his best friend murdered and shows Will the brutality of "Reapers." The town is exposed to this bizarre occult sect of evil, faceless drones that are secretly killing people mercilessly.
When a "Reaper" is killed, others are out to seek revenge by killing and brutalizing. Rituals begin. People disappear. Those worshipping the Devil are revealed. Will is the only one who can solve the puzzle and stop them. It's up to Will to protect the life he holds dear, including Gina, his wife and lifelong love.
A story of good versus evil, Cry Baby Bridge is a suspense thriller that will take the reader down a twisted path of hate and reiterate the redeeming power of good to ultimately triumph.
This book is Kelsey's first published novel. Drawing on his childhood experiences in rough sections of the city that included daily occurrences of violence, drugs and crime, Kelsey brings a concise, even brutal writing style that, in the end, gives the reader renewed faith that good overcomes evil in any circumstance.
