Former Blackhawk pilot Luke Angel wants nothing more than to enjoy the easy life he’s found in coastal Florida. He’s got a seaplane business, a well-trained dog, and a loyal and lovable crew to throw back margaritas with. But when a plane belonging to a friend goes missing from Luke’s airport, local detectives are understandably baffled. Clues are scattered from the Keys to the far side of the Gulf of Mexico, and Luke may be the only one with the connections to piece the puzzle back together.

Tropic Angel is a break from the typical “who done it”.
Nate has managed to include every element of good story telling and in just the right measure.
Several times I thought I had it figured out just to realize a twist.
I can’t wait to get the next Luke Angel adventure.

A complete crime fiction box set! Homicide detective Thomas Prescott may be retired—but a serial killer, a high-profile murder, an ill-fated cruise, and a chilling small-town crime add more than enough excitement to his hard-earned rest. This collection includes the first four books: Unforeseen, Gray Matter, The Afrikaans, and Show Me.

It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed, really laughed. You know, a stop the car before you hit something laugh!
All four stories were plausible in their own right but the character of Thomas Prescott was consistent and consistently hilarious throughout.
He’s the guy we all know and secretly wish to be.
He stumbles into very macabre circumstances and turns them to gold!
You will not regret this indulgence and Much like myself, you will look forward to Thomas’s future exploits!

After the blockbuster international success of From Here to Eternity, James Jones retreated from public life, making his home at the Handy Writers’ Colony in Illinois. His goal was to write something larger than a war novel, and the result, six years in the making, was Some Came Running, a stirring portrait of small-town life in the American Midwest at a time when our country and its people were striving to find their place in the new postwar world. Five decades later, it has been revised and reedited under the direction of the Jones estate.

Hometown author!
Reviewed: 10-11-21
I live in the author’s hometown and have for over thirty years. This book has been debated here since its publication and even survived attempted censorship in the early days.
After all of the folklore I found myself listening rather critically for names and familiar locations. Had it not been for that personal interest I may not have endured the whole thing. The narration was incredibly loud in much of the production that caused an uncomfortable physical reaction.
Now the “redemption” in the critique.
Characters were so well developed, I sensed a kinship with them. I mourned their misfortune and celebrated each triumph as if it were real.
I must say that every character in this book is represented in each small town in this nation.
In addition, each was a part of the story. Not a single one was a filler or a “throw away”.
I will close this inadequate review thusly.
In my humble opinion the most striking character in the entire piece was Ginny Moorehead! This poor soul embodies the eternal contradiction, the hypocrisy endured by women of meager education and lack of family love and nurture.
Mr. Jones specific portrayal of her person was incredible. Her abuse at the hands of everyone that occasioned her meeting made me put this recording away over and over again. My sadness at her plight was profound and after recovery brought me back to it.
Absolutely none of this book, story or characters struck me as contrived.
I will highly recommend this book to anyone that can handle some self reflection, it will happen! As well as those that enjoy being celebratory and pathologically depressed, both in the same sitting!
P.S. Please be kind. I don’t review books because I’m not especially good at putting thoughts to print but this book drove me to it.

One small handwritten letter, sent from a dark, remote corner of the planet and lost in the system for 60 years, is about to change the entire human race. Outside Denver, Colorado, Joe Rickards stands over a small aircraft wreckage, studying burnt remains still smoldering in a field of freshly fallen snow. He's an investigator for the NTSB, working to carefully roll back the last several hours and identify the cause of the accident. But this time, he can't.

The end is almost here, are you ready? A high-tech nightmare. A crippling attack on America and her infrastructure. Are humans in their final days? When a sudden, unexplained spasm of violence rocks the country from coast to coast, when our military is hijacked and the president can’t be found, the survivors will be left to wonder if this is the start of a new world war, or if this is the last chapter of humanity itself. Undercover DEA agent, Fire Dimas, is drowning in problems: an unrelenting job, a difficult marriage and a teenage daughter with suitors of the worst kind.

The story telling was spell binding and help me all the way. Character development can somtimes be a dry patch but not here. I felt as though I'd known these folks my entire life. The narration is what sealed the deal for me. Make sure you have a while, you won't want to put it down!
