The book's story follows a 30-something lawyer Jackson Workman "Work" Pickens who comes to a crisis of direction in his life albeit when his missing father turns up dead and he's identified as a possible suspect in his death. Pickens is worried sick his sister may be involved with their father's death and he goes to desperate lengths to protect her...
Overall, most of enjoyed the book although some of the the central character's actions were considered bone-headed and that led to a fair amount of discussion. The mystery story itself was appreciated and a couple noted a local Charlotte restuarant that drew their attention too. It is a kick to read a book with local settings which you've actually seen.
As a good sign for the writer John Hart, several asked if the writer has another book coming out soon and double-checking his personal website this week I see that he does. It is entitled Down River and its release date is early October.
