Only days removed from dismantling one of the world's largest online pedophile networks, Cal O'Connor is offered a covert position on the presidentially-backed task force to lock away child predators. His first assignment takes him to Old Town, Alexandria, where a ten-year-old boy's body is pulled from the Potomac River showing signs of sexual abuse. What seems like a straightforward abuse and murder case takes a dramatic turn when they find the body has two spider bites from the Brazilian Wandering Spider, the rarest and most venomous spider in the world. Cal is faced with piecing together the clues, and uncovering the monster behind the murder, but before he can get anywhere, the suspect is killed. After convincing the task force not to close the case, Cal takes whatever evidence he can find and follows the trail of clues to the inner circles of Washington politics, only to find himself hunted by the same man he's hunting.

C.K. Carlton
I began my professional career as a U.S. Navy intelligence officer. I spent six years in the Navy, making three tours, including a tour to the middle east in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.I left the Navy at the culmination of that tour, and after a few years in business school, I landed at The Martin Agency, an advertising agency in Richmond, Virginia.It all seemed like the right trajectory, but, as the story so often goes, the stress of hiding what I went through as a boy eventually caught up with me. So, one day, I walked away from my career and decided to focus on me. (quitting your career is never recommended)I got a low-stress job and began my recovery, and as I did, I journaled. That work became my first book, Nice To Meet Me, an often humorous and relatable book for anyone who struggles with their past.So, after a few decades of searching, here I am enjoying a career doing what comes naturally, writing fiction.I live and write in Richmond, Virginia with my wonderful wife and newborn son.
