Description

“As I watch the wake of the boat melt into the rolling waves, I feel I’m watching my entire past slip away behind me. Only the present remains. The terrible, poisoned present…”***NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS: A previous version of this novel was published as Fishermen’s Court (Black Rose Writing, 2019). It has been substantively edited and revised for this publication.I’m a second-rate artist living a solitary existence in my late parents’ rundown house. So why would a team of killers want to murder me and frame it as a suicide? Seems a fact worth knowing.I survive the ordeal only to discover my would-be executioners left behind a suicide note written in words that sound uncannily like mine. But that’s not the most disturbing part. The note reveals a secret from my past nobody could possibly know about—one that’s been haunting my life for eighteen years.I escape to Musqasset Island, Maine, my former home, to seek refuge with my best friend Miles (and okay, maybe to see if my old flame still carries an ember for me). But a powerful coastal storm is about to strike. And no sooner does the ferry dock than I realize I’m trapped on the island with the very psychos I’m running from—and with old debts that need to be paid. In O negative.My only hope for survival, and redemption, is to figure out who’s trying to kill me and why they’ve waited eighteen years to act—no easy task in a raging nor’easter, where nothing is on solid ground. Including my own mind.But there’s one thing my attackers don’t know. When they failed to kill me, they brought me back to life.“That rarest of beasts, a thriller that genuinely thrills.”– William Lashner, NY Times Bestselling thriller author

★★★★Matt

Long a fan of Scott Pratt, I was eager to read some of his son’s work. J.D. Pratt collaborates with Andrew Wolfendon, yielding a highly interesting piece that keeps the thriller genre alive and well, while pulling on a mystery that seeks resolution. The authors present Finnian Carroll, a man who appears to be quite normal in his appearance and drab in his personality. However, when he is attacked and left to die by a fake suicide, Finnian tries to piece together the truth. One the truth is revea

****I won a free copy of this e-book from a Goodreads Giveaway!!****So, I give this a 3.5 and rounded down because, while I really did like the opening sequence to this, there were a lot of parts that seemed to drag on, things that seemed a bit unnecessary and, while they kind of make sense and add to later parts, I don't know, it just seemed like it wasn't handled as well as it could've been. BUT, I mean, a guy who seems to have absolutely nothing going for him is suddenly the target of a seemi

★★★★★Donna Mallery

This is my first book by J.D. Pratt which is apparently a moniker for carrying on the Scott Pratt legacy. There is also a co-author so it would be nice to know who wrote the majority of this book. The writing style and grammar were excellent. The plot is engrossing, and there are events at every corner to keep the pace rolling. It is ultimately about the privileged against the common guy. How well do you know your friends is interspersed with a death plot. I really enjoyed this book!
