Hogback is a suspense novel, which explores the age-old dilemma of good versus evil.

The story begins recounting two seemingly unrelated events happening in different parts of the world on the same day: The first in Vietnam and the second in the small, eastern Georgia town of Washington. The son of the town drunk was an easy target for an over-zealous lawyer and a weak judge who were manipulated and bought by the ruling family of the county. The teenager’s desire for revenge on the family that framed him was unfulfilled because of their death from car accident just prior to his release from prison. His anger and quest for revenge takes him on a trail of vengeance to seek out any wealthy father and son who controlled small towns in Georgia.

After many months and a rising body count he finds himself in a new town – Blue Ridge, Georgia. He identifies his new targets within moments of arriving; however, his life is suddenly changed with the chance meeting of a local schoolteacher. As he takes out his targets he finds himself reevaluating his mission due to her influence. He begins to realize that the kills no longer satisfy him the way they have in the past.

For the first time he finds himself in uncharted territory. The loving guidance of an elderly couple and the unconditional love of a beautiful woman make him realize he can have a different life. The question is, does he have the courage to reach for it.

This is the first of a series based on several of the characters introduced in this book.
