DESCRIPTION:
"Carter's writing is on target." - Publishers Weekly
And the man who claims he doesn't need anyone will discover he may just lose everything.. Or any phone, for that matter. A desperate plea from an old flame -- his first love, in fact -- soon entangles Gage in a high profile case involving a famous and brazenly outspoken lecturer on evolution and atheism, a crazy fundamentalist cult that uses all means necessary to silence its critics, and a brutal local murder of a far more personal nature. Before the mystery can be unraveled, Gage's abilities and beliefs will be put to the ultimate test. And even with a certain blonde bombshell a persistent part of his life, he still can't be bothered to buy a cell phone. An old flame.A killer on the loose.A crazy cult on the rise.Nearly a year has passed since Garrison Gage became the reluctant guardian of a troubled teenage girl, but neither fatherhood nor the the intervening months has improved his mood. His right knee is still mostly worthless. Why? Then somebody might call him. But grumpy as Gage can be, he still finds that life on the Oregon Coast has settled into a comfortable if not happy routine -- until the man who murdered his wife shows up in town. That's just for starters. He still prefers to drink his bourbon alone
Deborah Akey said Garrison Gage is a character worth delving into!. It's not very often that I download a free book from Kindle and then go on to purchase the rest of the books in the series, but this was the exception. After downloading The Gray and Guilty Sea I was hooked on the main character, Garrison Gage. Gage is a wonderfully funny and irreverent character full of imperfections that enable you to identify with him on a human level. When you finally put the book down, you feel like you've spent the evening with a friend.While I'm a character dri. Carol L. Maurits said I enjoy Mr. Carter's writing style and the setting and. I enjoy Mr. Carter's writing style and the setting and storyline of this book. This is the second Garrison Gage book I read and I was looking forward to reading this one. However, the author's bias against Fox news (mentioned several times in a negative way) and evangelical religion was a big disappointment to me. I'm OK with the fact that his beliefs differ from mine but why spoil a good story with such comments? Also, by the end of the book I wanted to take Garrison Gage, shake him . Russell said Very sloppy and political story after enjoying the first book.. I enjoyed the first book in this series but I felt that the character's motivations and actions were not always realistic. This book could have been great but the author portrayed the few Christians in the story as uneducated and narrow minded while the atheists in the story were all treated as highly educated and scientists. When mixed with the liberal favoritism to media and politics I found the story seemed like it tried too hard to create a violent and ignorant enemy in right wing
