Synopsis

There are times when the truth invites evil, and there are times when the truth can get you killed. Few residents in the secluded mountain-town of Winston, Colorado, have kind words to say about local troublemaker Sean Coleman. He's a bully, a drunk, and a crime-show addicted armchair detective with an overactive imagination. After a night of poor judgment, Sean finds himself the sole witness to the unusual suicide of a mysterious stranger. With the body whisked away in the chilling rapids of a raging river, no one believes Sean's account. When his claim is met with doubt and mockery from the people of Winston, Sean embarks on a far-reaching crusade that takes him across the country in search of the dead man's identity and personal vindication. He hopes to find redemption and the truth---but sometimes the truth is better left unknown.

Did Sean Borrow His Gun From Rick Grimes?

An astute reader recently sent me an email, asking me if I realized that the revolver Sean Coleman's father left him is the same type of gun that Rick Grimes uses in The Walking Dead. The answer is yes, and it was no coincidence. I've been a fan of The Walking Dead from the very first episode, and decided to pay some homage to the show in my novel by giving Rick's gun to Sean. As I wrote in a previous book bubble, the character Alvar actually uses James West's gun from The Wild Wild West.

Book Excerpt

From a Dead Sleep

“Yep,” he grumbled before letting the glove box drop open and pulling out a Magnum revolver.

It was a six-inch barreled Colt Python with a nickel finish that shone from the sun above. The seasoned wooden grip was comfortable in his hand. It had belonged to his father, and it was the only inherited item he was never able to bring himself to pawn, even during the toughest of times.
