Thriller
Between life and death, between the deepest dark of night
and the first rays of dawn, in that moment where we begin to
drift from sleep to wakefulness, is where anything is
possible . . .
Jack Keeler wakes up one bright June morning to the shock of
his life. He gazes in the mirror and sees a half-healed gash
over his right eye and a hastily stitched-together wound in
his shoulder that looks suspiciously like the result of a
bullet. He also notices an intricately designed tattoo—words
written in a foreign script—covering the length of his
forearm. He’s alone, his house eerily silent without the
delightful chatter of his wife and two daughters. He has
absolutely no memory of how, when, or why he ended up in
such gruesome physical condition. Jack gropes his way down to the kitchen to call his wife,
Mia—an FBI agent—and to find some answers. But before he can
pick up the phone, his eyes are drawn to the front page of
that morning’s paper. He takes in a large photo of a bridge,
the guard rail missing, a skein of tire marks on the
roadway. Above the photo, in large black type, a headline
that simply reads NEW YORK CITY DISTRICT ATTORNEY JACK
KEELER DEAD. From this mind-shattering opening scene, Richard Doetsch
takes readers on a twisting, turning adventure as Jack
struggles to find out not only what happened to him, but to
his missing wife. As fragments of his memory return, and
with the help of a loyal friend, he reconstructs the events
of the previous night, which culminated in his being shot
and Mia’s abduction. He has only until dawn of the following
day to uncover an ancient mystery hidden in the depths of
one of the country’s most heavily guarded prisons. Just when
Jack thinks he has put all the pieces together and has saved
Mia’s life, a final twist occurs that changes everything. A thriller spanning time, an Asian people out of legend, an
assassin who will stop at nothing to avenge his death
sentence, and a diary whose contents foretell the future,
Half-Past Dawn is a race through the borders of life and
death, insanity and reason, and dreams and reality. In the
dim light of half-past dawn, nothing is as it appears to be.
