In Broad Daylight
By
Seth Harwood
Summary
FBI agent Jess Harding treks back to Anchorage to hunt down a
sadistic killer who's reemerged from a five-year hiatus--a killer who has
already slipped her grasp once before. The endless days of an Alaskan summer can't
thwart the fiend's plans as he slashes his way through the rural community,
where everyone knows your name and always distrusts the outside. With the help
of Oscar Linstrom, an old colleague who wants to be more than friends, Jess
attempts to immerse herself in the area's culture, leading her to a strange
rural village inhabited by Russian Old Believers hell-bent on protecting their
way of life. Even the locals are outsiders to the Old Believers, and Jess needs
a safehaven in the glare of daylight because a blood-stained message left at
the scene of the most recent murder says Jess is no longer the hunter--but the
hunted.
Author Bio
In 2005, Seth Harwood began writing his debut novel, Jack
Wakes Up. No stranger to the literary scene, Harwood had graduated from the
prestigious Iowa Writers' Workshop just a few years earlier and his short
stories had been published in numerous literary magazines and anthologies;
getting attention from publishers for Jack Wakes Up, however, proved more
difficult.
So in July of 2006, Seth recorded a podcast of Jack Wakes Up
and posted it on his website, SethHarwood.com, for free download. The podcast
was a major hit and the Jack Palms Crime Podcast Series was born.
Today, Harwood has amassed a devoted following of over 10,000 listeners and on May 5, 2009, JACK WAKES UP: A Novel (Three Rivers Press Paperback Original) will finally be available for readers everywhere.
Born in Boston, Seth Harwood currently lives in Berkeley, CA, with his wife and their dog.
