Cold Moon Rising

"This thriller absolutely delivers. From the moment the "perfect" robbery unravels, the story grabs hold and never lets go. Every character has their own unique back story that really pulls you in. A fast, clever, and wildly entertaining read that I couldn't put down."

"A promising debut from an NC-based author, which I love to see as someone from here. I'm a big fan of True Detective, particularly season 1, and the dynamic between Jimmy and Micky could make for a great TV show. The character development in general is strong. Everyone serves a purpose or functions as a means to an end. Speaking of endings... I genuinely did not see this one coming. I'm the type of person who guesses the way a movie or book will finish mid-way through, usually, and am a huge fan of thriller novels by writers like Sandford and John Grisham, so I know a good twist when I see one. Looking forward to the next book."
