MATTHEW'S ISLAND: A NOVEL OF RETRIBUTION (The Sam Larkin

MATTHEW'S ISLAND: A NOVEL OF RETRIBUTION (The Sam Larkin Series Book 4)

Artist, ex-con, former law enforcement officer, Sam Larkin, his friend Covington County Sheriffâ€™s Detective, Campbell Gardner and DEA agent Karen Chaney, all of whom readers met in Smithâ€™s previous books, are in contrast to the sylvan beauty of Matthewâ€™s Island in the lowcountry of South Carolina.

Sam came to the island to seek a peaceful, uncluttered life after being released from an unjust sentence in Louisianaâ€™s Angola State prison. The years since have been anything but peaceful and uncluttered. Karen Chaney sought his aid in destroying a major drug conspiracy in Covington County, a friend was murdered in a horrific domestic episode that left him fighting for his life after being seriously wounded and, he became, through no intention of his own, involved in the political demise of a vice-presidential candidate, the former judge who sent him to prison in Louisiana. â€œTrouble seems to follow you,â€ a long-time friend once said.

Things have gone smoothly during his long recovery from his injuries until Loyal DeLoache, a man who knows what it is to be imprisoned for something he didnâ€™t do, comes to Matthewâ€™s Island, the only place he has a living relative. Sam knows the mountains Loyal will have to climb to regain a normal life after being removed from it for thirty-two years, and they create a bond based on their shared experience.

A rogue reporter, an unlikely murder, an international search for the prime suspect and an unknown person from Samâ€™s past with a deadly agenda affects each of the characters in a different way, all culminating in decisions that will have an effect on the rest of their lives.

In the continuing journey of Sam Larkinâ€™s life, Smith has written a complex, soul-searching novel that goes beyond the exploration of good and evil. Matthewâ€™s Island addresses manâ€™s courage and his ability to survive and adapt to circumstances outside the parameters of most of our lives. It is a scorching portrayal of the human psyche and its capabilities, both good and bad.
