The Arc
In paperback from Booklocker
"The Arc of the Moral Universe is long, but it bends toward Justice."—American Transcendentalist Theodore Parker
A dark tale of justice too long delayed, too long denied.
Bright and talented, pretty and popular, Juliet Tannering was fifteen in the summer of 1986... and then she was gone. With the arrest of her seventeen-year-old neighbor, Robert Sutton, justice seemed to her family inevitable, a mere matter of patience... until a powerful and ruthless political machine buried the brutal truth.
But now, almost two decades later, Ray Geddy's patience has run out. The truth and true justice, her haunted former classmate knows, are not to be found in a courtroom. As even FBI Special Agent Skip Donnelly must finally acknowledge, "the infuriating truth was that sometimes the corruption ran too damn deep. Sometimes you just had to light a few fires."
Gleaned straight from the headlines, The Arc is a haunting psychological thriller of murder and retribution,
dealing in a blunt and brutal fashion with human cowardice, avarice, and arrogance, and with judicial and
political corruption at the highest levels.

What Others Are Saying About The Arc
"I just finished The Arc. It was a really good read!! It was very well crafted and very well written. I was so impressed! I thought you had an engineering background. I started it with some trepidation but there is obviously lots of English Lit in your background. Now what about your first book. What is it? I am ready to get it!"

"You either did a lot a reading of crime stories or a lot of research. I have spent 10 years in the prosecutor's office, years of criminal defense work, and have several friends who are detectives with the Syracuse PD, and I have to say your story pattern and jargon is very realistic."
- Hon. William W. Rose, Justice of Onondaga County, Syracuse, NY
"This is one of the best books that I have read about the impact of a feckless murderer on his victim's life and those who were complicit in its execution. It reads like a TV CSI episode or full length movie, only it is far better. The careful attention to documentation, the voice of the victim, the events surrounding the murder make the book a powerful page turner which is very difficult to stop reading. In my last sitting I read until 2AM. This book would also make an excellent movie if it ever gets picked up as a screen play. If you are looking for both excitement and a thoughtful read, I would suggest this book as a 5 out of 5. "

"This is one of those energetic books that grabs you right at the beginning and draws you into it, sorting out an intricate and interesting set of crimes and corruption. Ken has a great insight into the rawness of middle class adolescence and American culture which he weaves into a shocking mystery and gets it on the page with talent and intellect."
"I have to admit, I am absolutely impressed. Your book was phenominal. The detail, the descriptions and you made the characters very real like. Your writing is actually quite wonderful. I am very, very impressed!!!!!! I have read everything John Grisham's written and nearly everything from James Patterson, Michael Crichton, Robert Parker, Catherine Coulter, Michael Connelly, Robert Ludlum, Robert Tanenbaum, etc. and these guys have nothing over you in your story telling and writing style. You kept me a whole lot more intrigued and less bored than these other guys. Keep it up."
