Synopsis

"Marrying humor with suspense is not easy, but it comes across masterfully ... A truly enjoyable read." — Writer's Digest Award Winner in Genre Fiction

"An engaging thriller with plenty of humor, good characterization, and a memorable villain ..." — Kirkus Reviews

A high school reunion unburies the past in this twisted mystery of revenge and redemption. Lottery-winning surfer Danny Teakwell seems to be living the life, but he's been hiding a terrible secret, punishing himself for two decades. Now he's hit rock bottom.

So he thinks. The ghosts he left behind show up at the reunion, launching him on a mayhem-filled race through the Sunshine State to save a missing woman. He broke a vow to her when they were kids. He won't let it happen again.

The odds aren't good. He has three days and his only allies are a crusty barkeep, seven-year-old embalming expert, and an unbalanced lawyer with his own dark secret. Heart and dark humor combine with page-turning action and plot surprises that will keep you guessing until the end.
