Sean O’Brien series, book #3
Synopsis:
He hid the old pencil-drawn map for 40 years. The guards never found it.
After 40 years in San Quentin, Luke Palmer leaves with a state-issued suit, $100 dollars to buy a bus ticket, and a map that will lead to a promise and into the heart of a dark forest.
College graduate student Molly Monroe is about to release rare butterflies not far from where the FBI used 4,000 bullets in a shootout to kill Ma Barker and one of her gangster sons in 1935. Molly snaps a picture that will frame something she never sees coming. Sean O’Brien does see something — a predator– between the sea of cars in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Walking quickly. Stalking two women.
As O’Brien tries to prevent the abduction, he opens the door to a new relationship. And he opens a dark door to a horror that is secluded within the forest. He follows veiled tracks that lead him farther into the woods where an evil from the past intersects with a frightening presence to form a volatile trap with only one way out.
Reviews:
“ABSOLUTELY MESMERIZING!!!!!”
– Anthony B. Thomas (Amazon reviewer)
“I loved it. Some of the writing is almost poetic in it’s descriptions. I could almost imagine myself in the forest or by the sea. The story was my kind of tale.”
– Ann Davis (Goodreads reviewer)
“Very good reading. My curiosity about what would happen next made me have to finish reading it quickly. Loved it.”
– Carol Blacklidge (Amazon reviewer)
“Tom Lowe has a very deft touch with his pacing, going from rather introspective, very lyrical description of the swamp/jungle to high-tension action with good timing.”
– Cheryl Meyers (Goodreads reviewer)
“My first Tom Lowe, Sean O’Brien book. Kept me coming back and in suspense. Great read.”
– Bill Collins (Amazon reviewer)
