When Finn meets the current duke, he is wearing a hideous purple wig, which apparently he never takes off in the presence of anybody.

  ESCAPE WAS NEVER AN OPTION 
  "The end blew my mind. I did not see that coming. . ." ★★★★★ - Readers' Favorite 
  Charly Highsmith is a survivor. Abandoned by her parents, she spent her teens looking after her autistic brother on the bitter streets of Denver, Colorado, with nothing but a jacket and a backpack. 
  But things are better now. Charly and Jacob live in a two-bedroom apartment near a mall, and with the passing of their long-lost father, they've inherited a cabin high in the Rocky Mountains. Charly's eager to go there. Relive the good times she had as a child, running through the forest with Jacob and her cousins. 
  Amanda the Overachiever. Cam the Recluse. 
  But when they arrive, the cabin isn't empty. 
  Barry the Millionaire. Kennedy the Social Media Magnet. Randall the Hunter. 
  Standing by the fireplace, Charly sees that look in her neurodivergent brother's eyes. There are too many people. He's going to run. He's going to burst into the unforgiving snowstorm, sprint around the frozen lake, and hide in the forest like he did when they were young. 
  So much for reliving the good times. 
  Randall the Hunter goes to the window. Opens the curtains. The blizzard rages outside. He says no one is leaving. He says nothing will stop the hunt. Nothing will stop the excursion. 
  "The Excursion promises a one-way ticket on an obsessive journey that is creepy, compelling, and wholly consuming." ★★★★★ - Indies Today

  Quinn is serving a life sentence for a crime he's convinced he hasn't committed. Surely the authorities have got it wrong, and when they find his childhood sweetheart, Andrea, his name will be cleared. His parole is drawing near when he receives an unexpected letter from Andrea's mother, who invites Quinn to share her home. It soon becomes apparent that what appears to be a genuine act of forgiveness is influenced by more complex motivations. As they navigate the thorny terrain of guilt, justice, and mutual need that underpins their relationship, the story of Quinn's past is gradually revealed, setting in motion a final reckoning. Scottish poet Em Strang's first novel is a hypnotic rendering of an unravelling mind and a visceral story about the very limits of forgiveness.
