About the book

Florida Book Award Gold Medal
Foreword Book of the Year
Fly by Night will shock you with a conspiracy so devastating that it will shake the world
A top secret drone crashes in the lawless Horn of Africa. The CIA is prepared to write off the loss until evidence surfaces that the wreckage of their prized aircraft is hidden in a hangar outside Khartoum' s main airport. The hangar is owned by a shady cargo airline that flies ancient DC-3s across Africa and the Middle East. The name of the company does nothing to still concern: FBN— Fly By Night Aviation.
The U.S. government must find out what is in the hangar, and when an FBN airplane crashes, the opportunity arises to send an investigator to get to the bottom of things. Jammer Davis is the NTSB' s biggest headache, but also its best solo operator. He goes to Sudan in the name of solving an air crash, but with the true aim of locating the priceless remains of America' s latest technological marvel.
As Davis enters this inhospitable world, he finds the two disparate mysteries strangely intertwined. True to his nature, Davis barges ahead. Yet everything he finds takes him in reverse, disproving what little he has been given as fact. From Khartoum, to the Sudanese desert, to the Red Sea, Davis is unstoppable. He soon discovers that more is at stake, an incredible conspiracy that will tear the region apart. And one that will threaten America like nothing before.

Our take
Grief has turned Reed Mattox into a man built for the night shift, until a series of brutal murders drags him back into the center of the hunt. In The Boat Man, a withdrawn detective and his K-9 partner follow a serial killer through the city’s darkest corners and into a buried past powerful people want left alone.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Police Detective Reed Mattox, just three months removed from the death of his partner, has turned invisibility into an art form.
Switching to the K-9, taking over the graveyard shift, moving to a farmhouse miles outside of Columbus, his every move has become predicated on putting as much distance between himself and the outside world as possible.
That distance is shattered though when bodies begin turning up in The Bottoms, the poverty-stricken section of town he is assigned to patrol. Grisly, horrific scenes start to pop up in the middle of the night and the overburdened precinct has no choice but to put Reed on tracking the serial killer.
Now operating far outside of his comfort zone with a Belgian Malinois for a partner that attracts attention wherever they go, Reed is forced to unravel the murders, taking him clear across the city and back years in time, to an event that some very influential people will do anything to keep buried...
Note: The dog does not die.
Mystery, Thriller, and Suspense fans who love police procedurals, Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series, David Baldacci’s Memory Men’s series, and James Patterson’s Alex Cross series will love Reed Mattox and K-9 partner, Billie.
