The Santa Shop (The Samaritans Series)

Skip Ralstat is a man so steeped in grief and despair that life seems no longer possible. After the death of his wife and child, Skip blames himself. He has given up his friends, his job and now, devoid of all hope, he survives on the mean streets of Albany. He knows it can't go on, that life must end...but will it?

In "The Santa Shop" we get our first glimpse at the Samaritans Conspiracy, a secretive group of individuals who are seldom seen and never recognized. But why has Skip suddenly become of interest to them?

Also, don't miss "Red Gloves" the second standalone novel in this emotional, life-affirming series. With Maine teenage corpses stacking up and her life crumbling around her, Lead Detective Priscilla Harris seeks out a red-gloved stalker who is either a murderer or a saint.

One reviewer says, "Tim's fans will follow him to Hell in gasoline raincoats...."

You're invited to find out why.

From the Author:

Dear Reader,

It surprises me how often I'm asked if I've ever been homeless. Fortunately, I've always have had a roof over my head; however, my childhood was pretty dark, a fact for which I do not fault my parents. They did the best they could, but I owe a great debt to a local childhood library and the hundreds of authors who showed me that life could one day be better. They were right, of course, but it's impossible to limp from the shadows of a difficult past without carrying scars, and the pain from those scars are what I believe readers feel in my work.

Thank you again for taking the time. It is my sincere hope that the conclusion to Skip's emotional journey will leave you in a brighter place.

Your friend,

Tim Greaton
