They say the planned life can merely be endured. But when Chuck Carson's meticulously planned life careens wildly off path, it's all he can do just to survive.Or try to.The good ol' Georgia boy who pulled himself up out of a lower-class family on the strength of hard work and a smooth golf swing never fathomed that taking his first accounting job in the seemingly calm Gulf Coast resort town of Full Moon Harbor would put his face on the front page of newspapers across North Florida and South Georgia -- as the obvious killer of a teenager whose body washes up in nearby Crescent Beach. With an army of law enforcement, bounty hunters and even drug dealers on his trail, Chuck finds support and refuge in the most unlikely of places -- with an even more unlikely new friend. While on the run from the touristy coast to his rural stomping grounds in small-town Georgia and all the way across the Gulf of Mexico, Chuck's eyes are opened to a new world and new ways of thinking. But will his days on the lam be too numbered to matter?In this action-packed, yet thoughtful, first novel by a successful Southern journalist who now writes fiction under the pen name Bo Hunter, you'll tag along for every step and leap of this unexpected, twisting journey of self-discovery. "Oya's Wake" moves with the fast pace of a movie, yet leaves you with the long-lasting impressions that can be gleaned only from a literary adventure.
