At moments tender, and others hilarious, the suspense novel, Matchbook, follows the harrowing quest of a most unlikely heroine. Driven into a deep depression by the death of her daughter, Carol Lassiter has been homeless for three years. She's working out of her self-declared homeless oasis, a perfect place for collecting money while she nods in and out of an alcohol inspired haze. As she gathers her box of "donations," she discovers a matchbook with a phone number scrawled on the inside cover. When she calls the number, she's hurled back into the nightmare she's been desperately trying to forget. The voice on the other end claims to have an answer to the question that savagely unraveled her world to begin with—the death of her daughter Ella, a death ruled by police as a suicide. Carol begins a nerve-wracking journey following clues about the last weeks of her daughter's life, guided by the voice of a man who might be her killer, or worse, her persistent and terrifying delusion.
