After finding a beautiful co-ed’s body in an eerie waterway called
Lost Slough, Joseph Lawrence Conrad becomes an unlikely hero
caught in a Kafkaesque nightmare. Accused of murdering his
students, he’s about to lose everything—his teaching career, his wife,
his precocious five-year-old daughter, and his freedom. Detectives
Ryan Dunn and Manuel Marino tighten the noose as they uncover
links between Joe and the victims. Ultimately, Joe resorts to the
literature he’s teaching, borrowing from Hamlet to set a trap for
the real killer. However, the result only puts people Joe loves in
grave danger.

He edits a magazine called the Blue Moon Literary & Art Review, published in Davis, California, where he lives with his wife, Cynthia. Scott passes a mysterious waterway called Lost Slough during his commute and one cold morning, as an egret flew over the dark water, he thought, “That would be a good place to dump a body.” And the plot of Tragic Flaws was born.
