About this ebook

Sometimes blood is thicker than life.

"Some writers are thoughtful. Some have style. John Daly has both. When I read his work, it's time well spent." - Bernard Goldberg, New York Times #1 bestselling author of 'Bias'

"This book has so many twists, turns, mis-directions and layers of plot that I even forgot to eat where I was so involved. The characters are larger than life and when you think you know them there is another surprise just around the corner." - Best Selling Crime Thrillers

Sean Coleman is back in the latest thriller from John A. Daly, set in the mountains of Winston, Colorado.

Six months after the murder of his uncle, Sean is trying to get his life together. He's stopped drinking, he's taking better care of himself, and he's working hard to keep a fledgling security business afloat. At a blood plasma bank Sean frequents to earn extra income, he meets the distraught relative of Andrew Carson, a man who went missing weeks earlier on the other side of the state, with a pool of blood in the snowy driveway of his home as the only clue to the man's fate.

Sean decides to help in the search for Carson and quickly finds himself immersed in a world of deception, desperation, and danger---a world in which nothing is what it seems, and few can get out of with their lives.

Ratings and reviews

A bit convoluted an rambling plot for my taste. All (except perhaps one or two minor) characters flawed, which is OK, but also unlikeable, which is not. Seemed to be trying provide a sense of location, but weak. Sorry. The main protagonists often acting in poorly controlled rage but somehow surviving. Implausible. Most of it was, but well it's a story. Also lots internal monologue or background explanation which became a bit flat. So far not much to like I guess. But OK.

The story takes an unexpected turn. Keeping the reader interested. Good read.

A new kind of hero.- Lots of twists and turns. Kept my interest. Left me wanting more. Lots of twists and turn .
