The Hollow Axle: A mechanic uncovers a town's dark secret where human lives are just mechanical failures


Overview

In the quiet Hudson Valley town of Hendricks, silence isn't just a virtue-it's a survival tactic. Mike Hart is a young mechanic who knows the sound of a well-tuned engine, but when he finds a sedan with sabotaged subframe bolts in his uncle's shop, he discovers a rhythm much more sinister. This isn't a simple mistake; it's a blueprint for murder. For twelve years, Arthur Carver has run a sophisticated operation, staging vehicle accidents and processing human victims like line items in a ledger. Joined by Mara Ionescu, an ER nurse who has seen the grisly medical inconsistencies of these 'accidents, ' Mike begins to peel back the layers of a conspiracy that spans from corrupt law enforcement to cold-blooded medical professionals. But when the concrete floor of the shop gives up its secrets-the remains of forty victims-the investigation turns into a fight for his own life.

Author Information

P. Hartwell is a fiction mystery and the romantic, specializing in stories where the line between beauty and terror is razor-thin. Drawing inspiration from ancient folklore and modern psychological theory, Hartwell crafts worlds that are as lush as they are dangerous. When not exploring the dark corners of the human psyche through fiction, Hartwell enjoys studying historical armor and tending to a collection of rare, poisonous plants. The Guardian's Hunger is a testament to Hartwell's fascination with the transformative power of love and the inherent horror of the physical form. Hartwell currently lives in the Pacific Northwest, where the mist and old-growth forests provide constant inspiration for new nightmares.
