The Far Empty<\/a> by J. Todd Scott<\/p>\n

Hardcover: 448 pages
\nPublisher: G.P. Putnam’s Sons<\/p>\n

First sentence…<\/p>\n

\n

My father has killed three men.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Overview:  Beware of Spoilers\u2026<\/p>\n

J. Todd Scott pulls us in from the first sentence and proceeds to unfold his story from the perspective of believable characters with a slow burn to a dramatic conclusion that leaves us satisfied and yet hoping for more. (Rest easy, more stories are coming about those who survive.)<\/p>\n

The<\/span> Far<\/span> Empty<\/span> is a modern day western-noir wrapped around a mystery (mysteries) with enough action and suspense to satisfy the most critical reader.<\/p>\n

 When Chris Cherry, a new deputy in Murfee, Texas, finds the handcuffed, skeletal remains of a body in a remote area not far from the Mexico\/Texas border, he starts an investigation.  It’s an investigation that will uncover secrets best left hidden and may cost him his life.<\/p>\n

The Far Empty<\/a> hooked me from the first sentence.  I loved every page and give it my highest recommendation.  J. Todd Scott is the real deal.<\/p>\n
