2000s: Thomas Martin is a good man…isn’t he?
A Good Man
What you need to know before your trail
Thomas Martin is everything a man is supposed to be. He has a beautiful wife and a loving daughter, a good house on Long Island, a flourishing career at a prestigious Manhattan advertising firm. He’s a good son and brother, taking it upon himself to support his ailing mother and adult sisters. He knows it’s his God-given duty to shield them, his girls, from the everyday horrors of the world.
But he has failed, and unspeakable tragedy has befallen his family.
Now, Thomas struggles to come to terms with what has become of his life. If only he can tell the story as he saw it, he believes he might find out how and why things unravelled so horribly; how he failed so disastrously.

BookTrail your way from New York City to Long Island
Location and settings not a huge part of the book. They are mere background to the horrific events which take place both in the family home and in the mind of the characters.
There’s their home in New York City and the journey back to the parents home in Long Island. The sense of moving away from family, starting your own, moving away from your past is clear here. It’s a marriage in trouble and a man who struggles with how he and his wife first came together.
There’s a mention of a place called War Eagle in Arkansas too which introduces a troubling aspect to the novel.
