From a Dead Sleep — John A. Daly

There are times when the truth invites evil, and there are times when the truth can get you killed.

"A fast reading suspense book that surprised me so much, I had to finish it in one sitting." - Alice de Sturler of the American Investigative Society Of Cold Cases

"An epic thriller with a memorable, unorthodox main character... a riveting read..." - Colorado Country Life Magazine

Few residents in the secluded mountain-town of Winston, Colorado, have kind words to say about local troublemaker Sean Coleman. He's a bully, a drunk, and a crime-show addicted armchair detective with an overactive imagination.

After a night of poor judgment, Sean finds himself the sole witness to the unusual suicide of a mysterious stranger. With the body whisked away in the chilling rapids of a raging river, no one believes Sean's account.

When his claim is met with doubt and mockery from the people of Winston, Sean embarks on a far-reaching crusade that takes him across the country in search of the dead man's identity and personal vindication. He hopes to find redemption and the truth---but sometimes the truth is better left unknown.
