Max Freeman is seeking refuge from the familiar demons of his former life as a Philadelphia police officer, in his secluded shack deep in the Everglades. But his self-imposed isolation is interrupted when he receives a desperate call from his best friend, attorney Billy Manchester. There has been a recent string of suspicious deaths—all elderly women, all from a poor neighborhood, and all with sizable and recently sold-off insurance policies—which the police have been unable, or unwilling, to investigate. Billy believes something sinister may be at work, and so, to help his friend, Max must reluctantly pry where he’s not wanted, and act like the cop he’s trying to forget he was …Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“King
sets up a powerful parallel between the primordial feel of the
Everglades and the mean streets of South Florida, with civilization
seeming much more cutthroat. King seems well on his way to creating a
knockout series.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Plenty here
to reward the reader: the rapid-fire, gritty dialogue and the charms of
our hard-living, earthy hero…satisfying fare.” —Publishers Weekly
“King continues to write as powerfully as in his striking debut.” —Kirkus
