Atlanta firefighter Rick Edison leads two lives, one at home as a husband and father and the other as a promiscuous manwhore. After his wife leaves him, her mutilated body is found tossed in a dumpster like yesterday's trash. With no help from the APD, Rick forages the seedy streets of Atlanta to find the murderer of his wife. He enlists the help of Dr. Van Hart, the Medical Examiner who performed the autopsy on his wife. After her body is found stuffed in the morgue's cooler, the FBI turns to Rick for leads—leads that the APD should've had. What started out as a hunt for revenge turns into a fight for survival.
Rolling Out Magazine Review
Rick Edison is a fireman, a caring father, a heavy drinker, a cheating husband, and the day after his wife finalizes their divorce, he's also a murder suspect. Awakened from his drunken stupor the morning after leaving an implicating voice message on his ex-wife's voicemail, he's arrested without an alibi. Now the playboy turned amateur detective must take the investigation into his own hands to clear his name as well as his guilty conscience.
Man in the Mirror, K. C. Hughes' debut novel reads like a tangled web of action, suspense, and drama as yet another body is soon found in the morgue freezer, only to be followed by an attempted murder on a third woman. With little to go on Edison takes to the streets, where author and Atlanta native Hughes pay homage to her hometown. From the Underground and Little Five Points to Centennial Olympic Park and the Bluff, readers get a glimpse into Atlanta's scenic history as Edison tries to get to the truth of Shawna's brutal murder.
With the help of his enlisted comrades, Ramsey, fellow firefighter from Firehouse 23, and McKenzie, an ambitious and beautiful reporter from the city newspaper, Rick Edison will soon find the common denominator to this series of deaths, along with a renewed sense of his manhood.
Hughes' blend of fiction and the suspense of a murder mystery makes Man in the Mirror a page turner that's sure to get a rise out of thriller enthusiasts. Deidre L. Shannon
