Sanford Crow - Mike Lemieux

2022 Watty Winner
At ten years old, Sanford Crow uncovered the darkest truth a child could face: his father was a serial killer. It was 1969, and Sanford dreamed of becoming a detective. Following instincts he didn't yet understand, he investigated his own home, and what he discovered shattered his world. Twenty-five years later, Sanford is a divorced, recovering alcoholic raising his eight-year-old daughter and working as a crime scene cleaner, while trying to outrun his past. When a new string of murders begins to mirror his father's crimes, Sanford is dragged back into the nightmare he's spent decades trying to forget-one that forces him to question his memories, his past, and even his own mind.
