Overnight Delivery Raymond Parish

Small of stature but big of heart, psychotherapist Hank Anderson has a gift for helping clients face serious issues and heal life-altering traumas. But this talent intersects with darker truths, an insatiable curiosity and life-long penchant for personal risk that will soon threaten to violently shatter every aspect of Hank's life. Kenny Jensen is just the kind of client that piques Hank's appetite for intrigue. Referred by Hank's imposing friend Detective Phil Evans, Kenny is a delivery man and a thief. He readily admits to the crime that led to his recent arrest, and his rambling origin story of family addiction resonates with Anderson's own history. But at the end of his first session Kenny hints at a more terrifying reality, one that becomes a threat to Hank's precious daughter, the ex-wife he still pines for, his aging father, and his beloved and beleaguered colleagues. Kenny is the catalyst for Hank's descent into a world of drugs and death that hides just beneath the surface of his town's Midwestern calm and conservatism. Compelled to help Kenny pull himself from the chaos, Hank runs full speed into desperate people willing to remove any obstacle - or person - that stands in their path. Hank's mission is to uncover the truth and guide Kenny to safety, but at what cost to himself and those he loves? "Overnight Delivery is a clever, engrossing psychological thriller punctuated by wry humor and unexpected developments in a skillfully portrayed Iowa locale."- Ron
