Moment of Truth

Ray Mercer wants to know what his wife is hiding. And something in the walls of his apartment wants him to find out.

Out of prison and behind the wheel of a truck, Ray is trying to get his life back on track. But every trip leaves his wife alone—and gives him long hours to wonder who’s keeping her company while he’s away. When an illness forces Ray to stay home, he notices a strange mouse. It ignores the traps. Acts as though it’s mocking him. Watches as if it’s waiting for something.

In a drunken haze, Ray becomes consumed by a wish: to be as small as that mouse and see what his wife does when she thinks he isn’t there. No excuses. No lies. Just the truth. An impossible dream? Maybe. Or maybe he just needs to offer enough in return. If only Ray knew what this bargain would cost him.

Moment of Truth is a supernatural horror novella by Jesse Dutton about jealousy, obsession, and something far worse than infidelity lurking within the walls of an apartment.
