First Chapter Fun – Episode 347 – AN HONEST MAN by Michael Kyorta

Listen to bestselling, award-winning crime author Hank Phillippi Ryan read the description and opening pages of AN HONEST MAN by Michael Kyorta, which is available now!

About AN HONEST MAN:

Israel Pike was a killer, and he was an honest man. They were not mutually exclusive.

After discovering seven men butchered aboard their yacht – including two Senate rivals – Israel Pike is regarded as a prime suspect. A troubled man infamous on Salvation Point Island for murdering his own father a decade before, Israel has few options, no friends, and a life-threatening secret.

Elsewhere on the island, 12-year-old Lyman Rankin seeks shelter from his alcoholic father in an abandoned house only to discover that he is not alone. A mysterious woman greets him with a hatchet and a promise: “Make a sound and I’ll kill you.”

As the investigation barrels forward, Lyman, Israel, and the fate of the case collide in immutable ways.
