• Review:   I was initially drawn to this novel as a debut suspense novel, yet it truly is so much more than that.  Set in the Texas bayou outside Houston, a fluke of circumstance leads to a tale of corruption, murder, attempted murder and all of the machinations one would expect.  However, this is also a well told story of a man on the verge of fatherhood who must find a way to resolve the crime, his past, and his future.  it is a tale of integrity...doing the right thing when no one is looking.  Well done!
