An investigation full of twists and strange clues looks like it's leading to the city's least likely suspects - a powerful family whose philanthropy has made them famous.

And Ryder's right in the middle of it ...

Jack Kerley worked in advertising and teaching before becoming a full-time novelist. He lives in Newport, Kentucky, but also spends a good deal of time in Southern Alabama, the setting for the Carson Ryder books. He is married with two children.
Praise for `The Broken Souls': `As good as his first... superb stuff.' Independent on Sunday Praise for `The Death Collectors.' `A fascinating and frightening take on the genre.' Independent on Sunday `Kerley will truly scare the pants off his readers. This one's another winner from a writer moving towards the top of the thriller heap.' Publishers Weekly `Kerley, who writes like a house fire, has a boundless and truly ghastly imagination that'll keep you awake long after you turn the last page.' Kirkus Praise for The `Hundredth Man': `A chilling journey into a pitch-black mind.' Michael Marshall `A sturdy hero with a clearcut mission and a setting that holds possibilities for fresh adventure. Kerley writes in a thrusting style that pushes the action from crime scene to autopsy table.' New York Times Book Review `Kerley jacks up the tension effectively, building to an all-stops-out climax. The plot is a treasure chest of interlocked pieces.' Booklist
