Description
Jeremy Peoples remembers everything. But it’s more of a “terrible condition” than a “gift.” Even still, he’s a radio DJ on the verge of stardom, orchestrating a tell-all interview with the murderer responsible for a killing spree in his hometown.
He’s also harboring secrets.
Scarred by survivor’s guilt and desperate for forgiveness, Jeremy confesses his sins… live on the air.
The killer—Mason Reynolds—brushes aside Jeremy’s plea for mercy and instead delivers a cryptic message. As he loses control of his live show, another shocking revelation lures Jeremy back to the small Wisconsin town where he lost everything.
Home in Sugar River, the past is inescapable. And even worse: his perfect memory starts to fail at the worst possible time. He can’t see the danger he’s brought back with him… until it’s too late.
Fans of domestic suspense from Mary Kubica and Charlie Donlea will love Recollection. Stylishly written, this twisty debut is fraught with tension and heart-felt themes offering unexpected depth.
Recollection is simply… UNFORGETTABLE.

Advance Praise
"Beck's writing is exquisite and compelling; his descriptions are vivid and the prose is fluid, while touching on aspects of the human condition that are still relatable. I was instantly hooked, desperate to turn page after page regardless of the 500+ page count. This is perfect for fans of dark, gritty, psychological thrillers, and readers who can stomach graphic content. Recollection is an excellent debut." - Reedsy Discovery.
"Fantastic read. Masterful storytelling. Beck helped me escape while on vacation. Book of mystery, tragedy and hope. I was hooked by the storyline, the characters had depth and the depravity of humanity was on full display." - Brian Sanders, author of Leadership Endurance and Be Like Dad: 50 Stories for Life and Leadership.
"I wanted to zip through the story because it's exciting, suspenseful, and draws the reader; however, I took frequent breaks to process situations. Themes include the crucial need for forgiveness when you can't forgive yourself, continuous grieving for lost loved ones, finding any light in the dark while feeling lost, alone, and afraid, regression in mental health symptoms, abuse in various forms, and apologetics. Recollection is a fast-paced story, alternating between past and present memories, with the extra energy to carry the reader along the wild and crazy ride in the hopes of better understanding yourself and making things right." — Rachel Dehning, Reader Views.
