    Summary

    "There was a reason he always included his newspaper at the end of his name. People should be identifying Trent with the Birmingham Mail, with journalistic rigor and sarcastic questions, not with locker room smiles. Not with left wing politics. Not with affairs with football players, whose evident straightness could be explained away with a fantasy of tragic closeting.

    "But a boy could dream."

    Trent Crimm has already lived a long and checkered life as a reporter, but when he meets an inexperienced coach called Ted Lasso, he breaks every single one of his own rules.

    Summary

    Ever since she was nineteen, she’s been promised by purportedly older and wiser women that there would come a time that she would stop enjoying having sex with her husband. And for close to three decades she has, with varying degrees of discretion, rolled her eyes at that suggestion. Lorraine gets feisty after coming home from bible study. Ed has no complaints.

    Summary

    She can’t stop the rolling wave of terror flooding her veins. Mouth flooding with bitterness, she fights against the scream rising in her throat. She remembers the first time she had this premonition, five years ago. The long days and nights she existed, untethered and adrift, the vision replaying over and over again in her mind. The tentative weeks that followed, both her and Ed skittish around each other, frightened at the prospect of setting it off again. After having her second premonition of Ed's death during their investigation into the Amityville House, Lorraine needs her brain manually reset.

    Summary

    “Ed, pull over,” she gasps. The thunder shakes the windows of the ambassador and her breath quickens. The flashes white out the sky, and her head flickers with grotesque images of the altar, of the witch advancing on her, her bony fingers gripping Ed’s beating heart. 

    On the way home from Danvers Lorraine needs to get her vision out of her head. Ed knows exactly how to do that.
