What's going to happen to Tom Padgett? Is he the sweet guy I think he is? And will he ever have a relationship with a woman as meaningful as the one he has with his gorgeous dog, Bella?" Lawrence Amazon Reviewer Delayed Reckoning...A backwoods meth lab explosion and the remains of a charred body. A retired police chief turned vigilante? A hard drinking egomaniacal sheriff who obstructs justice. Just when you think it's safe in the quiet countryside, think again...Murder has skyrocketed since Tom Padgett's arrival on Sheriff Bill Wilson's turf. He's certain that Padgett is some sort of vigilante killer. While Tom tries to keep his head down, Wilson won't let up. His ego and dependence on Jim Beam Black blurs the boundary between right and wrong. Do Padgett's vivid recurring dreams and visions resemble recent crime scenes? Or is it just coincidence? Is he the nice guy everyone thinks he is, or is there something sinister about him? Will Wilson's un-relenting pressure on Padgett finally break him down or will Padgett's inner conflicts betray him? If you enjoy atmospheric thrillers with unforgettable characters, then Delayed Reckoning fits the bill.
