description: Set on the Texas Gulf Coast, award-winning author Jeff Abbott's suspenseful breakout novel is punctuated by a steamy Southern atmosphere, unforgettable characters, wicked humor, jolting plot twists, and a wry sensibility that's getting unqualified raves from his peers... "A wonderfully talented Southern writer." (New York Times bestselling author Sharyn McCrumb) A Kiss Gone Bad rocks big time...pure, white-knuckled suspense. I read it in one sitting." (Harlan Coben, author of Tell No One)  "No one understands darkness at the heart of rural America better than Abbott, and A Kiss Gone Bad marks a major new direction in his career. The novels hits with all the power of a Texas thunderstorm." (Rick Riordan, author of The Last King of Texas)
