An Honest Man: A Novel by Michael Koryta (English) Compact Disc Book

Description: An Honest Man by Michael Koryta, Robert Petkoff From the New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Wish Me Dead: The murder of several politicians at sea has shattering implications for a local lobsterman and a young boy in this action-packed thriller.Israel Pike was a killer, and he was an honest man. They were not mutually exclusive. After discovering seven men murdered aboard their yacht - including two Senate rivals - Israel Pike is regarded as a prime suspect. A troubled man infamous on Salvation Point Island for killing his own father a decade before, Israel has few options, no friends, and a life-threatening secret. Elsewhere on the island, 12-year-old Lyman Rankin seeks shelter from his alcoholic father in an abandoned house only to discover that he is not alone. A mysterious woman greets him with a hatchet and a promise: "Make a sound and Ill kill you." As the investigation barrels forward, Lyman, Israel, and the fate of the case collide in immutable ways. Written with mounting suspense, stirring emotion, and deep understanding of character, Koryta continues to prove why Stephen King has called him "a master" and Michael Connelly has deemed him "one of the best of the best, plain and simple."

Michael Koryta is a treasure, and his skillful wisdom with character and setting and emotion are unmatched. An Honest Man will captivate you from page one. It is wry and knowing, ridiculously immersive, and utterly heartbreaking. Its a story that feels not only truly told, but actually true...aching with the bitterness of reality, and the danger that comes not only from greed, but also from love. I will admit, Michael Koryta makes me cry every time. This is terrific book by a supremely gifted storyteller."--Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling and award-winning author"A macabre ghost ship adrift off the coast of Maine, a nest of islanders bristling with dark history, an ex-con/prodigal son and a lone cop allied against a depraved criminal network, a boy on the run from violence who must shelter a young woman who seems to have emerged from the sea itself--all woven together so deftly, and with such intensity of feeling, that the reader must simply hang on as the waves keep coming--and man do they come. An Honest Man is one hell of a ride, and Michael Koryta is a master at the helm." --Tim Johnston, NYT Bestselling author of Descent and The Current Details ISBN1549151258 Author Robert Petkoff Short Title An Honest Man Language English Year 2023 ISBN-10 1549151258 ISBN-13 9781549151255 Format Compact Disc Publication Date 2023-07-25 Subtitle A Novel Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2023-07-25 NZ Release Date 2023-07-25 US Release Date 2023-07-25 UK Release Date 2023-07-25 Narrator Robert Petkoff Audience General DEWEY 813.6 Publisher Little Brown and Company Imprint Little Brown and Company Playing time 681 Edition Description Unabridged edition We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
