Book Description
Stuart Wilmington has had the same tight-knit group of friends for most of his life, which include his best friend Scott, and close friends Natalie and Lindsay. He often feels extremely uncomfortable in most social situations. Though he's been invited to all the senior parties, it is more of a formality on his friend's part; he has rarely attended any of them. But Scott has made Stuart promise that he'll finally make an appearance at Lindsay's house party. Feeling a bit guilty for not showing his face for months, Stuart forces himself to go - even though he has been anxiety-ridden ever since Lindsay had invited him. He doesn't often take chances - instead, he tends to stick to his familiar routines, and has particular behaviorisms that most people find eccentric, or just plain weird. But he isn't odd; he has high-functioning Asperger's. He just sees the world a bit differently than his peers, and often has trouble processing sensory around him. During the party, Stuart runs into two of his classmates – Jordan Finnegan, and David Rourke, who have been relentlessly harassing him for years. Tonight is no different. However, one of the party guests step in and put a stop to the bullying. Once rescued, Stuart finds himself overwhelmed by all the noise and the crowd, so he finds refuge out on Lindsay's porch. And it is there, that Stuart meets his rescuer, the charming Jason Banciu - a few years his senior, from the nearby town of Harrison. Jason is everything he's craving in a relationship - independent, gorgeous, and full of admiration and love for Stuart. At first, things seem to be going quite well. They start to casually date, and Stuart starts to feel more comfortable around his new boyfriend. Because Stuart has never dated before, he quickly feels overwhelmed, and completely out of his depth when it comes to their relationship. But he knows that he has fallen head over heels in love with Jason, and is determined to prove to the world that he is capable of being in an adult relationship.

Secretary of State, Randall Tanner, was shocked when he read the Top Secret file discovered by one of his Ambassadors that revealed that the President was guilty of treason. After three agonizing days he decided that there was no other solution: The President had to die. Tanner initiated a plot to have President Ted Hoskins assassinated in a way that would make his death look like an accident. Fearing what she might know about the President's activities, the plotters also killed Hoskins' mistress, the Secretary of the Interior, Sarah Brewster. For five years it looked like they had gotten away with it, until Sarah's alcoholic husband found her diary including the details of her affair with the President. Broke, drunk and angry, the husband contacted an ex-CIA agent turned international affairs writer to ghost-write a book spilling all of Hoskins' dirty secrets, revelations that would raise questions that the conspirators couldn't afford to have asked. The killers quickly got rid of Sarah's husband, but by then the diary had fallen into the hands of his daughter, Allison, and the ghostwriter, Steve Grant. Barely one step ahead of the killers, Steve and Allison desperately search for Sarah's last hidden file that contains the whole story about the President, a file they have to find before the killers find them if they expect to have any hope of staying alive.

Book Description
When a young girl is abducted in a historic New England town in 1981, a family seeks full and total revenge, unwittingly setting in motion several decades worth of wicked lies and betrayal. Flash-forward thirty years, and the reader follows the Chief of Police, Box Sullivan, and his niece, Michelle, a ranger at iconic Walden Pond, two people who, on the surface, appear to be admirable, upstanding citizens. However, as the novel progresses, it becomes evident that both have plenty of hidden secrets and dark pasts which often intertwine with that kidnapping from decades earlier. They each share histories rife with trauma and deceit, as well as similar personalities bent on revenge. When a mysterious skull is discovered by two boys fishing in Walden Pond, and then Michelle’s husband later disappears, the suspicion and finger-pointing escalate, and along with it, the tension and suspense. Told in alternating points of view, this literary mystery dives into the psychology of murderous betrayal, familial loyalty, and the extraordinary lengths people will resort to in the pursuit of self-preservation. Twists, turns, and ruthless back-stabbing fill these chapters, keeping the reader guessing and on edge until its unexpected and dark conclusion. Praise for RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES: “Right Between the Eyes is a riveting, twist-filled exploration of violence, memory, and family. With its richly complex characters and vivid sense of place, this is a novel that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.” —Lou Berney, Edgar Award-winning author of November Road “Right Between the Eyes is a propulsive tale of blackmail and murder rendered in spare, hard-hitting prose. Sanders does a masterly job revealing how a family’s closely-held secrets can echo across generations like a gunshot across a midnight lake.” —Dennis Tafoya, author of Dope Thief “With a New England setting and the ghosts of Thoreau, Emerson, and Alcott coloring the background, Scott Loring Sanders weaves a tale of family secrets. Good people do bad things, and by the end, you are rooting for them to get away with it. Equal parts Stephen King’s Castle Rock and SA Cosby’s modern noir.” —Jim Winter, author of the Holland Bay thrillers “Scott Loring Sanders’ crime novel Right Between the Eyes gives new meaning to the phrase ‘all in the family.’ With terrific pacing, intriguing characters, and skillful buildup of suspense, Sanders thrusts the reader into the dark and grisly past of two sisters in New England and their police officer uncle; a past filled with ominous secrets that threaten to destroy the conspiratorial bonds that unite them. Set in Concord, Massachusetts, where Henry David Thoreau penned his famous philosophical musings, Right Between the Eyes is a roller coaster of a book with exciting plot twists that will keep the reader riveted. Sanders has crafted a thriller every lover of crime fiction will enjoy to the hilt. A must-read.” —Michael Bruce Blackwell, author of Wildlife on the Serengeti “Right Between the Eyes is not your standard sins of the father/bound by blood tale, but a welcomed departure into uncharted territory. With great risk, clean prose and precise execution, Scott Loring Sanders has created not only a feast for crime fiction aficionados, but also a revelation for all book lovers—proving himself undeniable with this dark, brooding and bloody family drama. Highly recommended.” —Nolan Knight, author of The Neon Lights Are Veins and Beneath the Black Palms “Right Between the Eyes is definitely the correct title for this one! Scott Loring Sanders hits you in the face from page one and doesn’t let up until the white-knuckle climax. This dark and troubling tale of two generations of the Sullivan family operating on multiple sides of the law raises many unsettling questions about the nature—and price—of loyalty at all costs, and is one of the most gripping novels I have read in years.” —Nathan Singer, author of Transorbital and Blackchurch Furnace
