"This mystery is as creepy as its cover. Page One sucks you into a sultry, sexy night in a thatched roof bar on a Florida riverbank. Three pages later something gruesome happens, and you're hooked like a fish. Snook Wallow is smart and suspenseful." - Myers R, Verified Purchaser
Snook Wallow: A Wrongful Conviction Mystery weaves together the stories of two undocumented immigrants and the men convicted of killing them.

A decade later Logan Murphy is nearing the end of the line on Florida's death row.
His last hope rests with Cate Stokes, a retired lawyer who reluctantly agrees to take his case. Cate joins forces with retired detective Eduardo "Lalo" Sanchez. As Cate and Lalo carry out an investigation the truth begins to unravel. The urgency to establish Murphy's innocence and find the real murderer is heightened when the duo discovers a human trafficking ring in South Florida and a chilling suspicion.
