The Story is that of a man’s slow and sinister downfall when a magnetic couple buys the empty home next door and moves in. Eric’s descriptions were penetrating in a number of ways the tight execution of it’s narrative, and the author’s uncompromising execution of a man who had lost his way.

I read the book and some years later tracked down the author Eric Higgs in Palm Springs California to discuss the possibility of adapting his work for the screen.

The Happy Man novel was originally introduced to me by James Waterson of St. Sites: David M O'Neill / Awards - Reel / The Happy Man Logline: "When Charles Ripley needs a friend, Ruskin Marsh is all too willing be one.”

Genre: Suburban Suspense Thriller - Current Day, Chula Vista California
