St. Johns Drift: A Wayne Mullis Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248796847)

When off-duty Deputy Carla Reyes stops on a darkened Jacksonville street and her dog refuses to move, she finds a bloodstain in the grass and a silence that doesn't add up. Forty-eight hours later, Ralph Bittman - accountant, husband, small business owner - is pulled from the St. Johns River.

Detective Wayne Mullis has seen enough disappearances to know that most men don't vanish without a reason. What he finds behind Ralph Bittman's ordinary life is a web of debt, coercion, and a careful man named John Wilks who has spent years making himself invisible.

St. Johns Drift is a procedural novel about the slow, patient work of finding the truth - and the cost of the silence that let it stay buried.
