Has anyone read The Oasis Project by Art Adkins? This is his first book and it is written so well you can't believe it.
Here's my review on it.
The opening pages give an excellent description of a hurricane and how and where it begins. I remember the big one that took out the little town of Punta Gorda where I had lived for so long. The Waterbury family was murdered and placed in their boat during Hurricane Cleopatra. When the authorities found them, it was classified as an accident. This is where the mystery begins.
When Slade Lockwood moved to Cedar Key as a 20-year veteran with LAPD, he had no idea that his retirement at forty-one would turn into a “run for your life” situation, and strangely enough he gladly accepted it. By helping a stranger, he gained something he never had before, himself.
When the writer created Slade Lockwood, he developed someone who could leap tall buildings at a single bound and never quit until the job was done. Slade is a man who can fight, investigate, solve, kill if he has to, and find love that he could never have known until he moved to Cedar Key. As situations occurred, they left you spellbound as to what he would do and what would happen to him next.
The most outstanding thing Slade did was to unravel the greatest mystery of all time that will change the world. I was thrilled to be a reader of Art Adkins first book. He has done a superb job and is on his way to becoming one of the great writers of mystery suspense.
