A Different Way to Die

"Readers will want more of the irresistible Jake Travis after reading A Different Way to Die. A fun, winding political mystery." --Foreword Clarion Reviews

Some secrets are worth dying for. Some deaths are best kept a secret.

Twenty years ago, Christopher Callaghan perished when his boat went up in flames on the west coast of Florida.

Now Christopher's uncle, Yankee Conrad, has received a medallion belonging to Christopher. A ransom note demands payment in exchange for the truth of what really happened that night. Conrad, a discreet man, asks Jake Travis to investigate.

Jake tracks down two women who knew Christopher. But they are guarding secrets, pledges born in the past and honored in the present. Jake also suspects that Yankee Conrad harbors motives beyond discovering who sent the medallion.

As the shocking truth about Christopher Callaghan's death is exposed, Jake is caught in a master spy's deadly web. He battles to save the lives of those who trust him-as well as his own.

A Different Way to Die, the eighth stand-alone novel in the Jake Travis series, is an addicting rush of Lane's trademark humor, adventure, and textured characters.

"Jake Travis is one of the best leading men to take the thriller fiction stage in years." --Florida Weekly
