Jacob Moses

Exit Lights Jacob Moses

Cotter Trespin has been experiencing strange phenomena on the streets of Chicago. Since turning twenty-one a month prior, the spotlights come and go without reason. They seem to shine from a place far beyond the stars, and Cotter quickly realizes that they are lighting up stages that are set for murder. The light goes unseen by others, as does the hoodie-wearing figure who directs these death scenes. Cotter eventually finds himself entwined in police investigations after continually appearing at the site of apparent accidents and suicides. Inevitably, the relationships in his life are being consumed by the mounting turmoil, and perhaps by the alcohol he consumes too. It's a strange connection with the killer though that sends Cotter reeling, desperate for answers to his life, answers to his existence. Could they lie within the seemingly insane thoughts of the killer and his mystical claims that the people in the spotlights have been marked for death? Or, is it Cotter's job to stop this killer. Jacob Moses lives in central Minnesota with his wife, Tracy, and their four children. This is his first novel.
