“Privileged and popular Caleb Mason is
celebrating his high school graduation when he receives a mysterious,
disturbing letter from his long-lost childhood playmate, Christine. Caleb and
his jokester friend Bean decide to travel to his tiny hometown of Hudsonville,
Florida, to find her. Upon arrival, they discover the town has taken a
horrifying turn for the worse. Caleb’s childhood home is abandoned and his
father has disappeared. Children are going missing. The old insane asylum has
reopened, and Christine is locked inside. Her mother, a witch, is consumed with
madness, and Christine’s long-dead twin sister whispers clues to Caleb through
the static of an A.M. radio.
The terrifying prophesies of the spirits are
coming to pass. Sixteen clocks are ticking; sixty-six murdered souls will bring
about the end of the world. As Caleb peels back layer after layer of mystery,
he uncovers a truth more horrible than anything he had imagined, a truth that
could only be uttered by the lips of the dead.”

Description: Sam Jenkins never thought about being a fish out of water during the twenty years he spent solving crimes in New York. But things change, and after retiring to Tennessee, he gets that feeling. Jenkins becomes a cop again and is thrown headlong into a murder investigation and a steaming kettle of fish, down-home style.
The victim, Cecil Lovejoy, couldn't have deserved it more. His death was the inexorable result of years misspent and appears to be no great loss, except the prime suspect is Sam's personal friend.
Jenkins' abilities are attacked when Lovejoy's influential widow urges politicians to reassign the case to state investigators.
Feeling like "a pork chop at a bar mitzvah" in his new workplace, Sam suspects something isn't kosher when the family tries to force him out of the picture.
In true Jenkins style, Sam turns common police practice on its ear to insure an innocent man doesn't fall prey to an imperfect system and the guilty party receives appropriate justice.
A NEW PROSPECT takes the reader through a New South resolutely clinging to its past and traditional way of keeping family business strictly within the family.
