Publisher's Synopsis
Addicts who have hit bottom know how terrifying the road back up appears. Private detective Charlie Street got off the booze years ago, but he's plateaued on an addiction that he finds both shameful and irresistible: sex. A beating that could have killed him leads him to partner with a crazy-violent bar-brawler, who turns out to be the son of a woman Charlie had a crush on when he was a teen-ager. Back then, he thought she was "the one." Can she help him recover his lost happiness? Or is that just another addict's escape fantasy? For an addict, giving up the drug of choice may be just the beginning, and finding true freedom may be more terrifying than giving up the booze. Praise for A Thousand Times: Loved the book.
