S. M. Dudley

A refreshingly unpredictable, psychological thriller, Drag is a novel driven by its main character’s inability to quench a desire for success, acceptance, and love.  Vincent Kyle obsesses with the loss of both his mother and best friend, but ignores his internal struggles that lead him into exceedingly risky, self-destructive behaviors. In a brazen attempt to collect insurance money from an accident, Vincent risks his life and is severely injured while being dragged from the back of a truck.  His actions lead to losing the normal suburban life that he shares with his wife and young child and ultimately, also, to the death of an underserving victim.
