Banyan Street

By Jonathan Herbert

Award-winning author Jonathan Herbert

When a respected island journalist is found dead and alone on a fishing boat, his son, Butch Sands leaves college and moves south to be closer to his brother and begin his own investigation into what truly happened. Authorities claim it was an accident and everyone except Butch is willing to live with that outcome. His newfound home, Pedro Island, is a seven mile stretch of sugar-sand beaches and premier tarpon fishing. In an island paradise filled with seasonal, wealthy elite, Butch discovers the truth in the aftermath of a devastating hurricane.

A debut novel about a young writer grappling with the sudden loss of his father as a deadly hurricane approaches-and his pursuit to uncover the mystery surrounding the fishing accident that changed his life.

Gripping and vivid, deceptive and thrilling, Banyan Street is an intimate coming-of-age-story about a young man overcoming his fears in the face of uncertainty.
