Book Description

Wilton Manor Five years have passed since Michael Grace left New York City a divorced and disgraced NYPD Detective. Still struggling to find peace in his life as well as a consistent relationship with his two young children, Grace spends his nights running one of Wilton Manors most popular gay bars and his days nursing a hefty hangover. After the suicide of friend and local prominent realtor, Vincent Masonius, Michael is asked by his friend's brother to investigate the circumstances surrounding Vincent's suicide. He reluctantly agrees and his former detective instincts lead him all the way to the steps of the Florida Governor's mansion. Armed with the knowledge of a gay affair between the Governor and his dead friend, Michael soon finds himself in the cross-hairs of powerful politicians, corrupt attorneys and a group of Russian Oligarchs seeking to silence him as they attempt to siphon off billions of dollars of crude oil from the protected acreage of the Everglades. Juggling between his unremitting ex-wife, his inconsistent role as a reliable parent and his promise to Vincent's brother, Michael hopes to remain alive long enough to expose the clandestine plot and prove to his children and detractors that he is worthy of their love and most importantly...their forgiveness. What makes the book special: It seems few publishers are successfully addressing modern family dynamics through the context of sparse, tightly written dark fiction complete with an appealing yet flawed protagonist. Wilton Manors is a dark tale about ruthless closeted politicians, American's naivete.
