Two little girls who have just lost their mother to cancer
are in foster care about to be sent to Alaska to live with Grandparents they
have never seen. Enter their n’er-do-well father, a failed major league pitcher
with a dark past and a sudden interest in his daughters. Dad also suddenly has LOTS of money , a damaged baseball player and the FBI following
him. A former cop turned guardian ad
litem is the girl’s only advocate when Dad kidnaps them and tries to disappear.
Cash shows us that he can write fragile, failed, caring,
evil, greedy, selfless, kind, merciless and merciful characters with a tight
plot. THIS DARK ROAD TO MERCY will have you reading far into the night to find
out what happens to Easter and Ruby, the money, and the dad. In Cash’s debut
novel, A LAND MORE KIND THAN HOME, he gave us an atmospheric Southern gothic
novel. DARK ROAD invests more in
character in this thriller that at times seems like a friendly family drama –
but be not deceived, this novel has true darkness as well as true mercy. Well worth your time!
