All small towns have secrets... When a troubled teenage girl goes missing in a remote Colorado ski valley, Denver private investigator Rick Malone is called in for help by an old friend accused of involvement in the disappearance. Within hours, he finds himself snowed in and in conflict with local law enforcement, not to mention working with an ex-lover and partner from a past he’d rather forget. Making matters worse, the stress sends him careening into a bipolar episode, filling his mind with static at a time when danger abounds, pushing him to the edge of sanity. As tensions run high and leads run low, Malone will learn that all small towns have their secrets, and sometimes powerful people will do anything to keep those secrets buried beneath the snow.

And One Way Out is one hell of a book.” -- Dietrich Kalteis, author of Cradle The Deep and The Deadbeat Club ◆ "...Pool writes PI fiction with hard-won authenticity and infectious love for the genre." -- Sam Wiebe, author of the Dave Wakeland series ◆ "Pool writes his protagonist’s pragmatic and streetwise routines and methodologies with bulletproof street cred." --The Lone Star Lineup
