Riassunto

Writer's Digest Award Winner in Genre Fiction

A high school reunion in a South Florida town unburies the past (literally) in this unhinged tale of darkness and light, revenge and redemption. Lottery-winning surfer Danny Teakwell seems to be living the life, but he's been hiding a dark secret, punishing himself for two decades.  Now he's hit rock bottom. So he thinks.

The ghost in his closet shows up at the reunion, along with a cheerful psychopath posing as a classmate. What's their connection? The imposter's intricate plan to avenge the past launches Danny on a twisted race to save his skin and, more important, the woman he betrayed a long time ago.

The odds aren't good. He has three days and his main allies are a pill-popping lawyer, crusty barkeep and seven-year-old embalming expert.

Product Description:

What if you could go back and bury your biggest mistake? What if it came to bury you first? June 1995. A high school reunion in a South Florida town unleashes this unhinged mystery thriller, a zany concoction of darkness and light. Laidback, lottery-winning surfer Danny Teakwell seems to be living the life in his beachfront condo, but he's been hiding a secret and punishing himself for two decades. Now he's hit rock bottom. So he thinks. The skeleton in his closet shows up at the reunion, along with a cheerful psychopath posing as a classmate, launching Danny on a twisted ride of mystery and mayhem through the Sunshine State. Turns out Danny's not the only one with a secret. With the help of a pill-popping lawyer, crusty barkeep, and a band of oddballs he meets along the way, Danny has three days to save his skin and, more important, the woman he's loved since the fifth grade. They made a vow as kids and he broke it. He won't let it happen again.
