A Kiss Gone Bad

A Kiss Gone Bad

by JeffAbbott (Author)

Synopsis

A death rocks the Gulf coast town of Port Leo, Texas. Beach-bum-turned-judge Whit Mosely is summoned to a yacht where the black-sheep son of a senator lies dead. Was it suicide, fuelled by a family tragedy? Or did an obsessed killer use the dead man as a pawn in a twisted game? When Whit defies political pressure and conducts an inquest, he and Detective Claudia Salazar expose a nest of drug lords, con artists, and power-hungry sharks - all out for blood. With their careers - and their lives - at stake, Whit and Claudia must unearth a lethal trail of passion and deceit that lies buried not in the warm sands of Port Leo but in the icy recesses of the human heart...

Media Reviews
'Jeff Abbott brings to vivid life the small shrimping town of Port Leon and has helped people his breakneck story with colourful characters... Highly recommended. IRISH INDEPENDENT 'You won't find a better read for under a tenner this week. Not only do you get a fascinating lead character in the shape of laid-back small town judge Whit Mosley - but also a genuinely gripping thriller.' -- Paul Allen COVENTRY EVENING TELEGRAPH
