"Madd Inlet": Runaway Caught in the Crosshairs of War

BROOKLAND, Ark. - March 2, 2022 - PRLog -- In his latest novel, Madd Inlet (TouchPoint Press, March 7^th, 2021), Tim Swink encapsulates all there is to love about southern fiction. Seeped in rivalries and secrets, much more is haunting main character Jack Tagger and the people of Sunset Beach than the war.

During the height of the Vietnam War, Jack Tagger is on the run. With Uncle Sam's draft board in hot pursuit, he escapes to the desolate Sunset Beach, North Carolina. Jack unexpectedly finds himself trapped in a new war, a vicious feud between two powerful men on the island. As secrets unravel and a ghost caught in the crosshairs makes himself known, Jack must make a hard choice and do the right thing, even if it leads to his demise.

Tim Swink's new release, Madd Inlet, is perfect for readers excited by southern mysteries. Fans of Delia Owens' Where the Crawdads Sing and Nicholas Sparks' Every Breath are sure to be fascinated by this novel.

About the Book
In 1969, during the crux of the Vietnam war, Jack Tagger is on the run. As the war in Southeast Asia rages on, he has made the moral decision to resist the draft. In his effort to avoid the authorities and the war, he seeks refuge on a desolate coastal barrier island, where he finds himself unwittingly caught in the middle of another deadly land-war between two very powerful men at Sunset Beach, North Carolina. When a Native American shaman summons the spirit of an innocent victim of that conflict, Jack is forced to make a potentially lethal choice between good and evil, and learns that, like Madd Inlet, what runs smooth on top does not always belie what runs just beneath the surface.

Madd Inlet is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers. Wholesale through Ingram and Touchpoint Press (eBook $4.99 and paperback $16.99).
