Synopsis
Secrets, lies, and terrible deeds have been floating around Burdensville for a very long time.
During a train ride across the country, Scott decides to visit a tiny cafe for lunch on a layover, in the small town of Burdensville. But he ends up visiting for longer than he ever expected, when Scott encounters a drunk man trying to hit on an unwilling waitress in the diner. Scott tries to step in and protect her, but Sheriff Darby winds up putting him in jail for his good deed. Soon, it becomes apparent that the people of Burdensville have more problems than they can shake a stick at.
Passers-through are getting killed one by one, and there seems to be no real investigation into the killings at all. But as Scott sits and waits to be seen by a judge he begins to figure out that there are many things being kept under wraps in the creepy burg, and those things are only the beginning. The town and all of its people are carrying around secrets, and Scott is stuck right in the middle of the mysterious nightmare. But it doesn't take him long to know just how wrong things are in that town.
With a little help from local waitress Denise Jensen, they soon piece together a horrifying truth that will prove to have far worse consequences than either of them could ever imagine.

Author Commentary'Brother's Keeper' is my first psychological thriller, and it was simultaneously fun and challenging to write. It tells the story of Scott Sharp, a traveler whose train makes a stop at the tiny town of Burdensville. There he begins to unravel the goings-on, which pulls him into the dark secrets the town holds, and the secrets won't let him go.
Writing this story was fun for a variety of reasons. It was off the beaten path compared to most books I write. The monster in this book is not a vampire, witch, or zombie; instead, the monster is an unknown man.
Scott walks into Burdensville without the slightest idea of what has been happening to this town. The whole place is off, and he can't seem to put his finger on what is happening around him. I wanted people to really be in Burdensville while they read this. I also wanted readers to get a very specific feel for the town, Mayberry, without a shower. I did my best to convey the gloom of the constant shadows that seem to hang over the place, even when the sun was shining. That's more or less what happens in small-town life and, evil or not, Burdensville is no different.
