Review: To be honest, I had never heard of Jeff Abbott before, but he was in town for a signing and we decided to check it out. Mr. Abbott explained that this book, and its sequels, would be a departure from his previous series. I don't know what his other works are like, but I do know that I enjoyed this one. I couldn't put it down! There are many twists and turns, and more than once I was certain that I had figured it out...but I was wrong every time! The only thing I wasn't wild about was the ending (I don't mean the answer to "whodunit", I mean the last few pages. They feel like they were tacked on at the last minute and don't add to the storyline), which is why this is getting 4 stars instead of 5. I will definitely try to get my hands on his previous works while I wait for the sequel to this one.

Summary: Rivetting, rocketting murder mystery
Review: When a death rocks the Texas coast town of Port Leon, beach-bum-turned-Judge Whit Mosley, is summoned to the yacht where he finds the supposed suicide of a Texas legislator his brains spilled all over the bunkbed of the fancy ship. Very little investigation establishes the fact that the guy was heavy into porn videos, not only making them but starring in them. Whit defies local pressure and conducts an inquest, and in the process, drug lords, con artists and power-hungry sharks turn up, all with a blood-lust. This story goes to a new level for its author, the award winning Jeff Abbott who has already established an audience with his stories about Jordan Poteet. This is sure to garner an Edgar nomination. You'll love the wry humor of this wonderfully talented author. Excellent plot, unforgettable characters that are probably still running loose on the Texas beach, and writing with a power that stirs all the basic emotions.
