This thought-provoking, chilling debut novel is impossible to put down --- it’s the kind of story that sticks with you long after the final page!"
KRISTIN MCTIERNAN, AUTHOR OF THE TWITTER CRUSH
"IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS MR. BRADDY'S FIRST NOVEL AS A MURDER MYSTERY AUTHOR. He grabbed my attention from the first paragraph and held it through the last. The crime thriller writer takes you on an exciting journey through the flawed yet sympathetic character of a disgraced, aging lawman in the small village of Cedar Key on Florida's Gulf Coast. He returns from forced retirement to solve the murder of his best friend. This is a story that will take your breath and your heart, and it is well worth the investment of your time to read. I am already looking forward to his next book!"
