Don't Think Me Evil:
Confession
"Please don't think me evil; I'm far from that."
For thirty years, one member of the Manassean Society kept a secret even the Society never suspected — a plan to stop the very thing it had been building toward since before any of them were born. Now, speaking from hiding, they offer you their confession. You've been invited.
"It grabs you by the throat on page one — it doesn't let you ease into this."
The Pattern Files
Professor Asa Thibodeaux follows the thread the novels only hint at — the suppressions, the shell companies, the convergence beneath Las Vegas. The trilogy's investigation, in his own voice.
The cast of Confession
Fifteen lives bound to one vow — and the man who wrote them.
Elwood West
Writes about people who have done indefensible things — and asks you to listen to them anyway.
Elwood West began Don't Think Me Evil in the mid-1990s and began finishing it thirty years later, just prior to the pandemic lockdowns. The years between were spent in the executive ranks of a Fortune 500 company, in boardrooms across five continents, and in conversations he is not at liberty to describe.
He has returned, after a lifetime away, to the city where the writing began: Houston.
