The Dark End of October

A shattered life. A criminal conviction. In the face of injustice all that is left for Romie Rosendo is to run. The road he takes leads him to Mexico and the town of Rosalia where a danger more sinister than the one he tried to escape awaits. As the people of this tiny village become a part of his new life, their secrets threaten to reveal his own, and destroy them all.

A child’s poem discovered from a distant time becomes the shadow of his nightmare as a young girl, a mysterious priest, and the men who keep the town in fearful silence give Romie the reason he must run again, and the reason why he cannot.

In The Dark End of October, Jonathan Rain paints a story of love and redemption through the eyes of a wanted man.
