A Line of Blood
For Alex Mercer, his wife, Millicent, and their precocious 11-year-old son, Max, are everything --- his little tribe that makes him feel all’s right with the world. But when Alex and Max find their enigmatic next-door neighbor dead in his apartment, their lives are suddenly changed. The police begin a methodical investigation, and Alex becomes increasingly impatient for them to finish. After all, it so clearly was a suicide.
As new information is uncovered, troubling questions arise --- questions that begin to throw suspicion on Alex, Millicent, and even Max. Each of them has secrets it seems. And each has something to hide.
With the walls of their perfect little world closing in on them day after day, husband, wife and son must decide how far they’ll go to protect themselves --- and their family --- from investigators carefully watching their every move...waiting for one of them to make a mistake.
A LINE OF BLOOD explores what it means to be a family --- the ties that bind us, and the lies that can destroy us.
