Brace Ruben

Pitfall Brace Ruben

Get ready to dive into the world of forensics and autopsies in Brace Ruben's second thriller, set in the lake country of Northern Minnesota.




An urgent call for service. An imminent cause of death. An immemorable cold case. This trifecta takes Forensic Investigator, Dr. Kevin Michaels, along a haunting journey to the northern Minnesota lake country where the unforgiving yesterday meets the unsettled present. He finds himself in ageless bygone days where he once discovered his first love, and the finality of loss. His profession takes him around the country to serve those grieving. But now, a missing teenager, inexplicable recent deaths, a cabin fire. Why? Is it coincidence or a connection on a deeper level? Each chapter clicks with lethal electricity as storm clouds hover.




A retired pathology professional who specialized in anatomy and postmortem examination, Ruben's experience-based fiction--flowing with visual metaphors and unforgettable characters--shines in his sophomore novel.
