Past:
Two whole months on his grandfather's ranch - away from the press and his sister's public drinking. Already fourteen years old and growing like a weed, his mother told him fondly, before he boarded the plane. "Be careful. Listen to your grandfather." Last words Quinn ever heard her say - the police showed up at Larry Stanton's door not a week later. Larry Junior and Donna had been found murdered in their Beverly Hills home. Kept alive for two or three days (Quinn didn't seen the crime scene photos until he was much older) as entertainment before the quick release of death. Unsolved murder, the papers shrieked. Hotshot lawyer and wife tortured and killed, screamed the national broadcasts. Stanton legacy cut short, trilled the gossip rags. Four generations of the legendary showbiz Stanton family, and the two left were a wild child and a painfully shy teenager. Quinn made the decision to hunt predators like the ones who'd destroyed his family right there on the spot, intending to study forensic criminology. But a college journalism class intervened, turning his future in another direction. He began writing about a fictional beat cop named Maxwell "Max" Durbin doing what those who'd worked on his parents' case couldn't - solving impossible crimes and bringing the bad guys to justice.

Present:
With a stack of short stories under his belt, a movie deal in the works, and a handful of suspense thrillers, Quinn has fled to a sabbatical, relaxing from the intensity of years spent in front of a keyboard or doing the book tour circuit. And there is Abby, trying to pick up the pieces of her life again, someone he refuses to turn his back on.

Fame, tidy bank account, steady work. Not bad for a man who still sleeps with the lights on.

Special: Quinn was originally made as a PC for a table top superhero game, and has the power of regeneration. This, of course, will not be evident unless he gets hurt in front of someone.
