Niceville has an almost unearthly beauty when the sun tops the ancient nearby mountain called Tallulah's Wall and bathes it in soft Southern light. But there's a reason Native American tribes avoided the place: An absence that inhabits the air and the depthless "sink" atop Tallulah's Wall. This "Nothing" has long bent time and the desires of a chosen few to her shadowy ends.

As THE RECKONING begins, Detective Nick Kavanaugh and his wife, family lawyer Kate, have accepted that reality in Niceville is not normal. Seemingly, they've fought Nothing to a draw. But now a buzzing emerges in the heads of some perfectly normal folks. Nothing isn't finished.

Come to Niceville and sink into Carsten Stroud's inimitable blend of crime and supernatural thriller, as characters you'll love throw in with bad guys you'll like way more than you should as they battle evil.
