About this item
A simple quirk of fate. Two fathers bound together by personal tragedy. Now the cover-up of a cold-case fire is exposed as murder. Revenge is a relentless motivator in the hands of a man with special skills and nothing to lose . . . A chance encounter in a Georgia rest area and Patrick Grainger is the only witness to the kidnapping of a young girl in broad daylight. Soon the unexpected bond that develops between Grainger and her family opens Pandora's box. Grainger has left his killing past behind, grieving for 12 years over the death of his wife and daughter, when the father of the kidnapping victim stumbles onto evidence, concealed for a decade--the tragic fire that killed Grainger's family was no accident. As the blocks topple the identities of the killers and their roles in a massive wartime conspiracy come to light.
About the Author
Ray Peden took a slight detour from the creative pleasures of his youth and molded a 43-year professional career, not as a writer, but as a Civil Engineer, General Contractor, Home Builder and Designer, Land Developer, and Public Relations Copywriter.
Along the way he found time for other pursuits: magazine editor, R&B guitarist, painter, cartoonist, drill sergeant, carpenter, stone mason. Throw in three ex-wives, three amazing daughters, four grandchildren and counting, and it was time to retire to a new career, the thrill-a-minute life as a novelist, counting bodies, conspiracies, and emotional conflicts while he sips bourbon and watches the Kentucky River roll by.
He and Patrick Grainger are currently working on the next story in this series.
