He’s on the verge of making his dreams come true… Then a dream, a dead client, and a mysterious stranger shatter his world…

Kenneth Cartwright, Attorney at Law, is a success by all the world’s standards. He’s even landed the client that will earn him the law partnership he desperately craves. Yet, a simpler, happier life haunts his dreams, making him regret his life choices. Just as he begins to see hope of that life becoming reality, those connected to his wealthy client begin dying. Can Kenneth solve the murders before success destroys everyone he loves?

Kenneth’s nightly flashbacks are to a simpler life, one not nearly as successful as the one he’s living. Why does he wish the dreams were reality? More important, why do the dreams feel more real than reality itself? Will the trappings of success destroy him and everyone he loves before he discovers the truth behind his dreams?

Stacy stumbles across a sad yet successful lawyer in a coffee shop. How can someone who looks so successful be so empty? As their friendship grows they discover there’s more to life than just success, and that the love of money truly is the root of all evil. Will they survive the evil closing in? Will Ken finally discover the joy he’s been missing in his life?

4.0 out of 5 stars Reading and Wondering August 27, 2013

By Barbara Ann Derksen

Flashback by Kevin Mark Smith is a narrative from the mind of a money hungry lawyer or, at least, that's what it seems to be when you first delve into the novel. Kenneth Cartwright lives in his corporate world, a highly paid attorney, sought after by many wealthy clients. He has all the material possessions he could ever want or hope for until he meets Stacy. Then there are the dreams he has of a home, wife, and kids. As a reader, I was as intrigued as he was to know which world was real and which was fantasy, although it seemed obvious ... at first.
Smith writes a intriguing look at hunger for material possessions and lonliness versus contentment with necessities and a life aside from work. This was a good story, kept me reading and wondering.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Story That Lingers August 27, 2013

By Sharon A. Lavy

I have found another "favorite" writer.

Kevin Mark Smith writes about a wealthy attorney, dissatisfied with the lack of meaning in his life.

The facinating part of this story for me was the unexpected plot twists. I'm getting pretty good at figuring out the end of a story. That doesn't keep me from enjoying the book though, because I love this type of challange.

However, this book did not go at all as I expected. And yet the story lingers in my mind. Something every author hopes for and so few succeed.

Good job Mr. Smith. I eagerly await your next novel.
