Description

Deadstream is the first release of a trilogy. Set in the late 1980´s in a small fishing town in the Midwest, Brendon Castleman arrives home to find his mother´s body, an apparent victim of suicide. As Brendon struggles to come to terms with the loss of his mother, grief, corruption, and tension bubble beneath the surface of the bucolic place; a place where drug smugglers and undercover agents coexist, each dangerously aware of each other. Deadstream is a searing portrait about the depth and boundaries of the human spirit. A compelling thriller of what Man is capable of when tested combined with the haunting introspection of a coming-of-age story. A thriller that truly thrills. [ http://www.deadstream.com/index.htm]

Reviews

“Brad Platt has a great setting for his new book, a cool title and a potboiler plot. Now all he needs is readers to make his dream of the writing life come true.”

-- Northern Express, MI

“Deadstream has every element of what a great book should. A gripping tale that would lend itself almost as if it were a true story. The end left me wondering if there may be a sequel. I hope this is the case. I'll be the first in line. If your ready to ride an emotional roller coaster, I highly recommend Deadstream.

Deadstream is a compelling thriller that kept my attention from page one. I really enjoyed the Michigan setting and the story line kept me on the edge of my seat.”

-- Mark Oselka
