Just Before the Dawn: The darknest hour is . . .

Life is hard, love hurts, and the line between love and death is always shifting. Welcome to the twisted world of Honey McGuinness. In this second installment in the noir thriller series, Honey tries to escape her tormented past and the pain of unrequited love by holing up in Pie Town, pop. 86. She's not looking for much. A little shelter from the storm would be fine. A ceasefire with the forces that continually conspire to use her as a punching bag would be dandy. She settles in, gets herself a job, a place to hang her hat, even a gal pal. She starts to think that maybe life is going to cooperative this time. Turns out she's wrong. Dead wrong. "Just Before the Dawn" is a chilling and brutal tromp through the id of small town America, where nothing is what it appears to be. Beneath the fa ade of normalcy lurk secrets dark and unholy: mind-bending psychedelics, drug-induced orgies, and psycho-killers. And when Honey emerges - reluctantly - from a long self-imposed celibacy and goes on the prowl, she unwittingly unearths the terrifying truth and is soon entrapped in a lethal XXX-rated nightmare of biblical proportions. In the end the only question is: Will there be enough body bags to pick up the pieces?
