Tuskegee, AL Author Publishes Mystery Thriller

July 22, 2015 - "Twisted Minds," a new book by Henry J. Findlay, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

The dwelling of an individual's mind is a vast, complicated space where no one is all good or bad. Passions become secrets, and secrets become dangerous. When a university student, Jeremy McKneese, has an affair with his accomplished, yet controversial professor, Allison Alcott, it becomes more than a simple love affair.

After the professor is found murdered in her home, it is McKneese who takes the lead in the suspect pool. But the murder of the professor is more than the result of an affair, and may have connections in the university, police force, and even involve the prime minister. It's up to McKneese, and those who believe in his innocence, to discover the truth behind the many layers surrounding the professor's death.

Politics, lust, jealousy, and betrayal all intertwine in Henry J. Findlay's "Twisted Minds." He hopes readers enjoy the overlapping relationships, mystery, and the importance of every detail in problem solving.
