With the fierce swing of an iron re-bar, Gino Traynor, computer programmer, shatters the porch post of a Nags Head, North Carolina beach cottage. Two men he loves are showered with splinters. The first, FBI agent Rob Hanson, Traynor’s best friend for two decades, has just asked a seemingly innocuous question about a pair of shoes. The second, Toby Gray, a nineteen year-old waiter who’s sharing Traynor’s bed, falls wounded with a two-inch sliver in the white of one eye. Beneath the surface, like a shark in the surf, lurks a years-old killing in the hamlet of Bee Spring, Kentucky.
Intricate, intimate, its characters richly drawn, The Magician’s Secrets is J. G. Sauls’ debut novel.
