Sherry Richards, is put in harm’s way.  Midnight Guardians is an atmospheric, edge-of-your-seat crime novel by an author whose “descriptions of Florida’s backwaters put him right up there with James W. Hall and Randy Wayne White—excellent company indeed” (Chicago Tribune).  This ebook features rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s life.
