Black Hammock

A gothic tale of crime and vengeance set on an island off the coast of North Florida: “No one will stop reading, so hypnotic is Wiley’s writing” (Booklist). We had set out from Atlanta to kill my mother and her husband. A slow kill. Oren has returned to the family home he last saw when he was eight years old. It’s been eighteen years. And today he’s bent on an elaborate scheme of revenge. Homicide detective Daniel Turner never forgot the unsolved case of Amon Jakobsen’s disappearance all those years ago. Amon’s artist wife, Kay, said he vanished without a trace—a story Turner never believed. Now he’s returned to the isolated house on Black Hammock Island, near Jacksonville, following a bizarre series of disturbances. Kay’s studio went up in flames, destroying her self-portraits. Before that, her chickens died mysteriously. Kay and her new family are frightened. Is this Turner’s chance to find out what really happened to Amon eighteen years before? With echoes of ancient Greek tragedy and a menacing noir atmosphere, Black Hammock is another nerve-jangling walk on the dark side from the Shamus Award–winning author of Blue Avenue and Second Skin. “A dazzlingly lurid tour-de-force of action writing . . . Black Hammock comes alive in the music of its mayhem.” —Fort Myers Florida Weekly “Harrowing in its own peculiar way.” —Kirkus Reviews
