Time in a Bottle

A single glass of whiskey was all it took for Mark Willis to be thrown into the hellish pit of alcoholism again and the dark, foreboding nightmare that became his life after Monica's murder had begun. She had rescued him from the bottle once before, brought him to the surface, allowed him to once again breathe the air as a clean and sober man, something he had not done for almost twenty years. But that all ended on a crisp autumn morning in a familiar place with an old friend in his hand. Audra Schaeffer is Monica's half-sister; a wealthy, powerful pharmaceutical executive with a secret. A secret that if revealed would ruin her and her father, Senator Robert Schaeffer. A secret so devastating she would resort to anything in order to protect it and her beloved father. Time in a Bottle reveals the struggle of a man drowning his sorrows and his life one glass at a time while his friends and the police vainly try to help him and to find Monica's killers before they kill the only other person who knows the Schaeffer's terrible secret.
