This book was sort of strange for me. I really enjoyed it for about the first third, enough that I downloaded one of the author's novellas to my iPhone's Kindle app. Then I came to a part that was a chapter length flashback; it was at this point that the book started to annoy me. The author spends a LOT of time describing emotions and the protagonist's inner life. At the end I asked myself what had happened in the book, in terms of events, and I could think of only a few. I think the author is very talented, but I wish he would spend more time telling a story and less time telling me how people are feeling (or how the protagonist thinks they are feeling). (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553384082, Mass Market Paperback)

From the moment he saw the girl in the snowstorm, Flynn had less than an hour to live. But he’ll remember his last fifty minutes long after he’s dead. As an investigator for Suffolk County Child Protective Services, Flynn has seen more than his share of misery, but nothing could prepare him for the nightmare inside the Shepards’ million-dollar Long Island home. In less than an hour, that nightmare will send him plunging into a frozen harbor—and awaken him to a reality even more terrifying.

They’ve nicknamed Flynn “The Miracle Man” because few have ever been resuscitated after being dead so long. But a determined homicide detective and a beautiful, inquisitive reporter have questions about what really happened at the Shepard house—and why the people around Flynn are suddenly being murdered. Flynn has questions of his own, especially when one of the victims dies while handing him a note: THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT. Flynn has returned from the Midnight Road—and someone wants to send him back.
