COMING
JUNE 1
“Richly drawn characters led by the mesmerizing Izzy, this novel pulls you into a world of quiet suspense... but the creeping tension beneath every page will keep you thinking and reading long into the night.”
—Jonas Saul
Author of What We Were Hiding
St. Izzy launches June 1
A homeless woman’s prophecies come true with increasingly dire consequences, but a skeptical news reporter needs a sign before it’s too late.
Sonny, a quirky journalist in Washington, DC, befriends a homeless woman who wields an “End is Near” sign and proclaims the coming destruction of the world. He remains skeptical of Izzy’s prophecies, even as they come true with increasingly dire results—natural disasters, wars, and the loss of his career.
​
One message catches the FBI’s attention, which sends Sonny into depression and panic attacks. He can ignore Izzy as delusional, or he can help spread the word, but he needs a sign—and he needs it fast.
