In this story of redemptive suffering, Sheriff's Detective Cade Ribault goes up against a case that breaks his heart and a crippling illness that threatens to kill him. Shadows of corruption gather as surely as darkness falls on the face of a sundial, and Cade is running out of time.Set in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Shadow Clock brings the elements of Greek tragedy to the Grand Strand. The novel is at once a steamy Southern noir, a detective thriller, and a portrait of a wounded man's quest to survive in a murderous world.
