A seasoned FBI agent and a manipulative serial killer are forced to take shelter in a seedy roadside motel near New Orleans. Over the course of one harrowing night, the killer’s mind games begin to unravel the agent’s psyche, blurring the line between predator and prey. As old secrets resurface, it becomes clear that neither man may walk out alive.

Wrench in the Plan is a taut, atmospheric thriller with psychological depth, evocative of Silence of the Lambs, No Country for Old Men, and True Detective. The novel delves into the inner conflicts of its protagonists, exploring themes of guilt, obsession, and the haunting weight of past mistakes. This gritty Southern Gothic thriller barrels forward with Tarantinoesque style, pitch-black humor, and nerve-fraying suspense. With its film version already in development—complete with a website ( www.wrenchintheplan.com ), trailer, and proof-of-concept short—Wrench in the Plan delivers a story that demands to be read, listened to, seen, and remembered.
