The Dashing Mister R M. Daniel Nickle

What happens when someone realizes the story of his life isn't the right story?  What happens when he discovers the so-called point of no return is a fairytale?  What if a person could find his way back and make things right? 
 
Novelist M. Daniel Nickle explores the answers to these questions and their effects in his new book The Dashing Mister R, a suspenseful tale of crime and fantasy.
 
Howard Young, a retired TV Guide editor said, "It's too bad Alfred Hitchcock is gone because he would have eagerly made this book into a movie." 
 
The Dashing Mister R centers on award-winning journalist Sebastian Stephens who has fled his life and career in New York City and taken refuge in his boyhood home in the Garden District of New Orleans.  He had had everything he ever wanted: a brilliant career, a nice Manhattan apartment, and he was in love, though not with the sort of person he expected.  The stress of the forbidden affair along with a horrific murder case neither the police nor he could solve proved to be too much and he fled.  Now, years later, he receives a mysterious stranger who portends life changes for Sebastian by means of a confession the stranger wants to make about the case. The information, however, comes at a price.  Stephens is confronted with a choice.  He can either reclaim his life, or lose it forever.
