A VISIBLE DARKNESS Tormented by the demons of his past, Max Freeman rarely ventures beyond his secluded shack in the Florida Everglades. But he can't ignore the recent string of suspicious deaths of elderly women that the police have been unable, or unwilling, to investigate. His best friend urges him to get involved and act like the cop he's trying to forget he was. To discover an unseen killer, Max must confront the dangers of the city streets—and the unexpected shadows of his own past. Read an excerpt.

He weaves a powerful plot into this volatile mix, provides a credible hero and a memorable cast. All this plus a subtle love story and some superb detective work."    —St. Louis Post-Dispatch "King writes a compelling story."    —Rocky Mountain News "Effectively captures the feel of swampy South Florida, making the landscape a key element in his engaging thriller. In much the same way James Lee Burke uses the bayous of south Louisiana in his stories, King's Florida has a distinct, character-revealing personality."    —The Albany Times-Union "Well into James Lee Burke territory, Jonathon King's second novel featuring ex-cop turned unofficial and reluctant PI, Max Freeman, is top class. . . . This is an author with a big future."    —The Independent on Sunday (UK) "It's the characters in this book that make it irresistible."    —St. Petersburg Times "Plenty here to reward the reader: the rapid-fire, gritty dialogue and the charms of our hard-living, earthy hero… Satisfying fare."    —Publishers Weekly "King continues to write as powerfully as in his striking debut, The Blue Edge of Midnight."    —Kirkus Reviews "King proves that the success of his first detective novel, The Blue Edge of Midnight, was no fluke. …King sets up a powerful parallel between the primordial feel of the Everglades and the mean streets of South Florida, with civilization seeming much more cutthroat. King seems well on his way to creating a knockout series."    —Booklist (starred review) "This excellent effort proves that there's still room for another detective in the crowded Florida fiction landscape."    —Library Journal
