Hal Schweig is happy to report that his debut novel, What Jennifer Saw, a psychological murder mystery, was published by Black Rose Writing on November 7, 2013.In August,2014 The Huffington Post ran an article entitled: "5 Twisted Thrillers for 'Gone Girl' Fans." My book was one of the five! Considering that Gone Girl is a runaway bestseller with 6.5 million books sold so far, this is an awesome endorsement of What Jennifer Saw.Earlier in 2014, Kirkus Reviews, the most highly respected and sought after of all reviews, called What Jennifer Saw, "A gripping tale of suspense." The narrative is driven by the shocking penomenon of Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) a psychic condition in which the central character has unconsciously created one or more alter egos, which exist in order to deal with very unpleasant experiences that the main character has repressed. The 15-year old title character -- the ethereal Jennifer -- is afflicted with MPD and cannot recall who murdered her father, a horrible scene she witnessed. The publisher believes the MPD storyline is unique to the mystery genre.Hal Schweig formerly served as a crime reporter,rewrite man and editor at the legendary City News Bureau of Chicago, where he covered crime stories which occurred on the mean streets of Chicago. This experience gave him the background to write this mystery, and create the main character of a newspoaper woman who tries to not only cover the murder, but solve it.A recent review of What Jennifer Saw said in part:"This book has it all--intrigue, adultery, apparitions, murder, sociopaths, misogynists, mental illness, ethical misconduct, abuse, terror and evil...It has surprising twists which keep the reader engaged throughout the entire book." -- US Review of Books, January, 2014
