One Good Deed

The past is only as alive as you want it to be or just as dead and buried as you need it to be-or so thought Florida Keys bartender and sometime drug dealer Joe Taranto. But that's before a hurricane, a lost stash of cocaine and a murder fast-forward him into his hidden former life, and make him a fugitive from the shady disguise that had kept that life his darkest secret. Now he is faced with a choice: to make up for the past sins that haunt him by saving a disturbed young man from prison; or to run away again from himself, as well as the law, by still believing you can live a few steps ahead of your past. The decision he makes will measure how much his life can be changed by one good deed. [Cover painting by Sonia Grineva]
