About this ebook
Something is wrong in Niceville. . .
A boy literally disappears from Main Street. A security camera captures the moment of his instant, inexplicable vanishing. An audacious bank robbery goes seriously wrong: four cops are gunned down; a TV news helicopter is shot and spins crazily out of the sky, triggering a disastrous cascade of events that ricochet across twenty different lives over the course of just thirty-six hours.
Nick Kavanaugh, a cop with a dark side, investigates. Soon he and his wife, Kate, a distinguished lawyer from an old Niceville family, find themselves struggling to make sense not only of the disappearance and the robbery but also of a shadow world, where time has a different rhythm and where justice is elusive.
. . .Something is wrong in Niceville, where evil lives far longer than men do.
Compulsively readable, and populated with characters who leap off the page, Niceville will draw you in, excite you, amaze you, horrify you, and, when it finally lets you go, make you sorry you have to leave.
Read the first thirty-five pages. Find out why Harlan Coben calls Carsten Stroud the master of “the nerve-jangling thrill ride.”
Now with an excerpt from Carsten Stroud’s next book, The Homecoming.

I like this writer's talent with dialog, & developing interesting characters. I found him out accidentally several yrs back when someone left a copy of Sniper's Moon in an airport lounge & several hours & three states later, I was a fan. This wasn't quite up to that level, but was worth 4 stars anyway. May have liked it more if I hadn't read all his previous stuff and so am aware of what he's really capable of, at his best.
