"SIGN" A new novel by Lou Rera


Life changing events force Jim and Deirdre Thompson to escape for the weekend to confront their problems on a road trip, only to find themselves inextricably lost and terrorized by occurrences that will collide with a deadly secret that one of them is hiding.


On a balmy night in San Francisco two years earlier, Jim met Marlene; a sexy, street savvy art dealer who would change his life in an unthinkable way. Jim finds himself trapped between his lust for Marlene and his unwitting involvement in a heinous crime. To block out the truth, Jim allows the passage of time to bury those darkest memories.

Now, emerging from the fog on a long drive through rural Pennsylvania, Jim and Deirdre, mired in a relationship electrified with tension, search for anything that would point them in a direction away from a foreboding county road. The places they stumble upon begin to haunt them, and show them visions linked to the past in a night of unrelenting and terrifying encounters. Jim must remember the details from that tumultuous night in San Francisco, and rediscover the truth that can save them. This may be his last chance to stop the malevolent stalker from killing one of them. Unfortunately, it may already be too late.
