The Unraveling Man (Joe Brandt Thrillers)

By David Howard

A boy falls from a tree and accidentally sets in motion a chain reaction that leads to arson, assault, murder and a conspiracy of the most dire sort.While the injured boy is in surgery, assistant district attorney Joe Brandt is forced to represent him for the state...because his parents are nowhere to be found.They are phantoms, cyphers who have left no records anywhere. Their two kids were born, raised and schooled in a series of homes where they squatted and hastily vacated when noticed. The small family live entirely off the grid and are relentlessly protected by the father, Cory Trammell, in his own absolute way.When the boy is taken away, Cory's lifelong paranoia convinces him the government has finally caught up with him. His only choice is to rescue the boy and then for the family to disappear all over again.Cory's misbegotten attempt to fetch his son from the hospital turns into a violent assault which serves only to bring even greater attention on the abandoned boy and interest in his absent parents. Joe and his investigative team now delve into the mysteries surrounding the strange, articulate and terribly hostile kid.Cory seeks help from his only friends, career criminals who date back to his time in juvenile detention. They bolster his ever-increasing mistrust and pursue their own agendas until they eventually see Cory's dire circumstances as a ready excuse to make a powerful insurrection against government tyranny.Joe and his team must try to catch up with what appears to be an inexplicable crime spree that ultimately has the whole city on high alert. And in grave danger.The second in the Joe Brandt Thriller Series, The Unraveling Man, is a taut and fast-paced legal thriller with memorable characters, strong conflicts, exciting twists and genuine, believable psychological resonance.
