AN HONEST MAN
In AN HONEST MAN, the murder of several politicians at sea has shattering implications for a local lobsterman and a young boy.
Israel Pike was a killer, and he was an honest man. They were not mutually exclusive.
After discovering seven men butchered aboard their yacht including two Senate rivals - Israel Pike is regarded as a prime suspect. A troubled man infamous on Salvation Point Island for murdering 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 woman greets him with a hatchet and a promise made in her mysterious French accent: "Make a sound and I'll 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 the New York Times bestselling author of seventeen novels - including Those Who Wish Me Dead, which has been adapted into a film starring Angelina Jolie and directed by Taylor Sheridan. His previous novels were New York Times notable books, national bestsellers, and have won numerous awards, including the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Koryta is a former private investigator and newspaper reporter. He lives in Bloomington, Indiana, and Camden, Maine.
