About this item
"If there is such a thing as a fate worse than death‚ Joe Tree found it. Sentenced to the hell of Florida's state prison for a murder he didn't commit‚ with the wife he worships cheering on the prosecution and then deserting him to marry the man who sent him up. His long-coveted freedom day only brings more heartbreak when he returns to Tampa Bay after surviving twelve years on the concrete.The gold he stashed to finance a fresh start has disappeared‚ the friend he trusted it to is long dead‚ the answers buried beneath the dirty secrets of a onetime rival's success and the truth of why an old acquaintance who married a fortune needs Joe dead or back in prison to keep it. When Joe crosses paths with a soured cop hungering for an opportunity to muscle in on a lucrative blackmail racket -- if he can find a suitable lowlife to frame for the killings -- the bodies start falling.

There he spent the next two decades in sales and business management before hanging up his wingtips to pursue the much more challenging career of parenthood. He lives in Hawaii, where he now devotes his time to his family and, of course, his books.
