Newly emancipated sixteen-year-old Mark Seward moves to his late uncle's house in small-town Iowa. His life soon takes a sinister turn when a series of mysterious deaths plague the community, and he becomes the prime suspect. Mark's journey begins as he arrives in the quiet town, hoping to find solace and escape the shadows of his past. However, his dreams of a fresh start are shattered when the townspeople start dying under mysterious circumstances, and all eyes turn toward him. Burdened by the weight of suspicion and with no one to vouch for his innocence, Mark finds himself trapped in a twisted game of fate and paranoia. As the body count rises, Mark embarks on a race against time to clear his name and uncover the dark secrets that shroud the town. Plagued by relentless accusations, he must navigate the treacherous maze of small-town politics, hidden agendas, and personal vendettas. In his desperate search for the truth, Mark must confront his deepest fears, challenge the boundaries of his own inhibitions, and unravel the enigma that lies beneath the town's seemingly tranquil facade. With danger lurking around every corner and the real culprit still at large, Mark becomes a pawn in a web of deception that threatens to consume him.

______________________________________________________RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRAISE FROM READERS _______________________________________________________". . . the book is engaging when it addresses Marshack's five levels of "EmDs." The second chapter does a particularly good job of describing each one of these. . . .The EmD levels do resonate, and the implications of empathy dysfunction become clear."-Kirkus Reviews "A Must Have! Combine equal parts trauma, tenacity, courage, mama-bear energy, and determination to help others, then add big dollops of empathy and wisdom, and you have this book. Dr. Kathy Marshack survived the unthinkable and tells her story loudly and clearly, offering others in relationships with unscrupulous people a roadmap out of their suffering. She designed the Empathy Dysfunction Scale to deepen our understanding of the range of human empathy disorders. . . . If you are struggling with mean people or confused about your loved one's behavior, I highly recommend reading this book."-Dr. Julie Glass_____________ Just plain mean. That's how many would see it if: their best friend swindled them; a cyberbully harassed them; a neighbor filed complaints about fabricated wrongdoings; or they befriended a good-looking stranger who inched into their life and hijacked it. If any of this sounds familiar, "Beware," advises Dr. Marshack. "These 'innocents' may be more than liars or cheats. They may be narcissists, even sociopaths, who are living with Empathy Dysfunction (EmD), putting NeuroTypicals in harm's way." "NeuroDiverse" (ND) describes the unique workings of a brain that is different from those with typical neurological development or functioning; hence, the term, "NeuroTypical" (NT). When Empathy Dysfunction is afoot, Empathy has failed. To demystify the puzzling-often maddening-world of EmD, Dr. Marshack invented the Empathy Dysfunction Scale. It identifies the severity of EmD, ranging from EmD-0 (having zero degrees of Empathy but not intending harm) to EmD-5 (epitomizing Empathy). "When Empathy Fails," the latest from this long-established psychologist and prolific writer on Empathy and Empathy Dysfunction, is a far cry from the dry psychological treatise expected when discussing Autism, "Asperger Syndrome, " addiction, or TBI. It is a hair-raising memoir with lessons and warnings about EmD clues that should not be ignored. She documents how Empathy Dysfunction in her family and community nearly destroyed her personally and professionally. "This book," said Edward Snook, publisher of the 'US Observer, ' "is an imperative read for [crime] victims, law enforcement personnel, and those working in the legal system." On Snook's watch, the newspaper published several investigative articles about the critical damage vigilante justice and wrongful prosecution wrought on Dr. Marshack and her family. A groundbreaking book, it should be a dog-eared reference for anyone living in the shadow of Empathy Dysfunction.____________*This book, plus the second and fifth in the series, are in paperback and eBook format. They are: "Out of Sight-Out of Mind" and "Empathy Is More Than Words." The first, "Life with a Partner or Spouse with Asperger Syndrome: Going Over the Edge?" is a paperback. The fourth, "'Asperger Syndrome' and Relationships: Everything You Need to Survive a NeuroDivergent Life," is an eBook.____________Dr. Marshack offers extensive resources to help NeuroDivergent couples and others impacted by Empathy Dysfunction manage their relationships. That collection includes her innovative on-demand video course, "'ASPERGER SYNDROME' & Relationships: Life with an Adult on the Autism Spectrum" http: //www.asd-ntrelationships.com/courses.
