"This book is a beauty. . . . The plot, the action, the marvelous sense of place, are enough to keep anyone reading."-Elmore Leonard James W. Halls haunting debut novel first introduced the rugged character Thorn and the breathtaking South Florida landscape where he lives. Thorns past includes a savage act of revenge on the drunken hit-and-run killer of his parents. Now, fifteen years later, Thorn still cannot escape that moment, or the darkness he took into his soul that night. Not even his best friend, Sugarman, knows the truth. Not even Sarah Ryan knows the depths of her lovers pain. Then suddenly, the nightmare begins again as Thorns foster mother is found slaughtered. Thorn can almost taste the rage as he stalks her killer and waits. "An exciting, well-crafted first novel that smoothly places complex, believable characters into an action-filled plot."-Washington Post "It starts good and stays good, right to the end."-Chicago Tribune
