This review is from: An Empty Sky (Kindle Edition)

I really love reading mystery novels but having spent some time in Annapolis, Maryland and having experienced a few hurricanes along the East Coast, I decided to give this book a try. It is one of those books that grabs you right away as a Category 5 storm is moving towards Ocean City, Maryland. In a very compelling story, we follow Cecil Clemenzi from boyhood to a somewhat mentally unstable middle aged man. He decides to take revenge against the wrong person when he is financially ruined as a young man by a fellow trader on the trading floor in New York. This fellow trader, Kevin Kepler, is a former mercenary and arms dealer and way out of Cecil's league. Once Kepler realizes that Cecil is the one who hired people to go after his family, he turns things around and goes after him. Cecil then takes off by himself, leaving his family behind,and ends up in Laramie, Wyoming to start a new life. Cecil's short time in Laramie comes to an abrupt halt when he decides to return home, where he is ultimately pursued and captured by Kepler. I really liked the characters in this book, even the minor ones like Kepler's daughter Virginia and her rescuer and therapist, Mike Chandler. Although it is not really a mystery novel, it moves very quickly and is full of suspense and action. I would love to see this book made into a movie as it would be really exciting to see this story on the big screen.
