He's the man next door; the handsome, charismatic, and wealthy man every woman wants and all men envy. 
But behind those light blue eyes, a storm is raging. No one knows what Caleb will do next, not even himself. 

"A top rate, ripped-from-the-headlines psychological thriller series that crackles with tension." Best Thrillers.com 
Lottery is the first in a series spanning three generations. 

In San Francisco when Caleb O'Toole makes a pact with Jack Weber to split the largest mega-lottery ticket in the history of the lottery and win, Caleb breathes a sigh of relief; all his troubles are about to disappear. 
However, when he receives an anonymous note, threatening to expose him, the voices only he can hear begin to take control. 

As Caleb's twisted odyssey of delusions become his reality, no one is safe, not even the family he cherishes. From the streets of San Francisco to Chinatown to Shangai the malicious voices chasing him refuse to let go. 


Praise for the Lottery series: 

"What distinguishes Lottery from other crime novels is the masterful way that Shursen gradually - and artfully - escalates the sense of danger with each succeeding chapter. While the book unleashes a regular cadence of shocking twists from the get-go, the malevolence burning within the book's primary protagonist builds like Ravel's Bolero." - taken from a review by Best Thrillers.com 

"Shursen seamlessly weaves together a complex tale about the multi-faceted personalities of a family man suffering from a malicious mental disorder. An explosive, unpredictable ending will leave thriller readers wanting more." 

"At about the last 50 pages I realized that I was holding my breath. The story is gripping, thrilling, and breathtaking." 

"Great storyline that kept me sucked in like no other!!!! Now onto book 2," 

"The only regret I have about reading Lottery is that I didn't pre-order the next book in the series."
