Dark Sky - Joel Canfield

The unforgettable debut of an unforgettable character.

Meet Max Bowman, discarded by the CIA years ago, now living on an endless stream of harmless search-and-find freelance jobs provided by his old boss. Suddenly, he’s given a mission way above his paygrade — to uncover the truth about First Lieutenant Robert Davidson, the son of an American military legend and a war hero who died in combat during the Afghanistan conflict.

Or did he?

To find the answer, Max must take a road trip into the heart of America’s darkness as well as his own, where he has to deal with exploding homes, a classic TV hero on a rampage, a sexy heiress, a misguided teenager and Max’s girlfriend back home who’s text-cursing him out on a regular basis. And, oh yeah, there’s also a para-military organization that’s just waiting for the right moment to kill him. 

It all happens in DARK SKY, a sardonic and suspenseful mystery-thriller in which an underwhelming hero must confront an overwhelming conspiracy - not to mention himself.
