Congratulations to my valued client Michael Mucci on the publication of his thriller “A Season to Kill” from Rook Publishing. When small-town deputy sheriff Chris DeAngelo is suddenly vaulted to the top law enforcement job, his first case is the disappearance of a local meth dealer. It looks like a routine case of a marginal petty crook gone missing, but as Sheriff DeAngelo dutifully follows the evidence he plunges into a disturbing web of treachery and deceit that rocks the placid hunting town. This crisp, imaginative thriller boasts a vivid sense of place, richly drawn characters, and an intricate plot that keeps unfolding until the very last page. Highly recommended!
