    About this audiobook

    When Deputy Sara Cross arrives at the late-night scene of a shooting by the side of a deserted highway, she learns that her former partner-also her former lover-fatally shot a twenty-four-year-old man, claiming that the man pulled a gun during what should have been a routine traffic stop. But the details soon point to another scenario, and in order to protect herself and her son, she must follow the truth no matter where it leads.

    Wallace Stroby delivers a gripping novel that is part modern noir, part intense character study-and totally compelling from start to finish.

    • 4/5
      A quick solid thriller, with crooked cops, drug dealers, and an honest cop, trying to make things right.
    • 4/5
      Sara's doing the best she can. Her life isn't the easiest what with being an officer in the boy's club of a small central Florida Sheriff's office and a single mom to a son with leukemia. Things don't improve when she responds to a call one night for a roadside shooting and find her ex-boyfriend is the cop and he's shot a young man. Everything looks by-the-book, but as Sara looks at things, they don't piece together as well as they should. Meanwhile, in New Jersey, a drug lord worries when a delivery to a new supplier down south goes missing. He asks Morgan, an old school enforcer with issues of his own, to go and find out what happened. Wallace Stroby is fantastic at creating reprehensible characters who are, if not exactly likeable, then interesting and compelling. Everything's in shades of gray, including the people; what's interesting is how they deal with what they've been dealt. Morgan isn't a good guy, but you can't help but sigh with him over how the business has changed and how his profession doesn't favor the long-lived. Sara's fantastic; tough and committed to doing a good job both as a cop and a mother, but her weakness for the feckless Billy is understandable. He may always make the wrong life choices, but he has a certain charm. Gone 'Til November is pure modern noir, full of atmosphere, gunshots and run-down bars with gravel lots.

      Sara Cross has problems. She is a single mother and her six-year-old son is battling Leukemia. She is one of the best deputies her small Florida town has ever seen. Sara is the first responder to the scene when a shooting occurs and when she shows up, her ex—a fellow deputy—has shot a young, black man and his story is self defense and it seems that the evidence supports his story. Initially, Sara believes Billy’s story, but the more she investigates the more questions she has.Mikey-Mike is a New Jersey drug dealer who is having issues. His product is getting a name for being weak. He doesn’t trust his hired man, Morgan and his money has come up missing. He sends Morgan to Florida to find the missing money and what happened to the carrier. True to form, not only does Mikey send Morgan, but also a couple of thugs to make sure the job gets done.Morgan has his own agenda and problems he has to deal with. The other thugs definitely don’t blend in to the quiet Florida community well and Sara is caught right in the middle of it all.Fast-paced and exciting, this book will keep you entertained the whole way through. Characters so life-like, you will feel intense emotions toward each one of them!Reviewed by Ashley Wintters for Suspense Magazine

      Reading this for a Buddy ReadFinished this tonight and I was not thrilled with it. It was very predictable and the characters seemed whimper to me. Well, not Morgan. He is a bad guy but in my opinion the most interesting of all. Ending left too many loose ends.
    • 5/5
      When Florida sheriff's deputy Sara Cross is asked to back up her partner and former lover Billy's story about a shooting, she calls it a clean shoot, but soon has second thoughts. Meanwhile, New Jersey drugrunners have hired a shadowy enforcer known as "Morgan" to find out what happened to the $350,000 they had hidden in the dead man's car. This gritty crime-novel is hard to put down. The characters are well-developed and the plot could easily be true.
