Book Launch: Jon Sealy’s The Night Hawk

Join us as RVA favorite and acclaimed Southern crime author Jon Sealy launches his Detective Luke Steele series with The Night Hawk, a tense, atmospheric mystery set in South Carolina’s upstate.

Detective Luke Steele thought he could play house. He’s settled into a new rhythm: nights in an upscale subdivision with his real estate agent girlfriend and her two kids. Mr. Suburbia. Mr. Stepdad. It almost feels real.

Then flashing blue lights shatter the calm. A roofer is dead at the construction site two doors down. The county sheriff’s department calls it an accident, but Luke isn’t so sure.

Partnering with Deputy Kayla Baker, Luke uncovers a deadly conspiracy of greed, dirty money, and powerful men who will stop at nothing to protect their empire. The deeper Luke digs, the more he’s forced to confront who he really is: a man at home on the other side of the caution tape.

The Night Hawk blends hardboiled detective work with the rich textures of the South Carolina Foothills – perfect for fans of Ron Rash, S.A. Cosby, and James Lee Burke.
