Description
Master Chef Michael Rogan owns a world-renowned restaurant, is married to his college sweetheart, and has a daughter beginning college. His life is as picturesque as their mountaintop retreat overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge.
That is until Frederick Dalton, an old Army buddy turned Warden at San Quentin, drifts in from the past with an odd request. He will release Michael’s estranged father—serving time on Death Row for the murder of his wife 30 years ago—in exchange for one small favor. Michael declines.
Michael’s life is once again disrupted when his estranged brother Scott arrives unexpectedly looking for a job. Michael reluctantly agrees and things soon head sideways.
Scott is found dead in the restaurant’s freezer, with a knife in his chest. Police want to believe Michael’s alibi, but the facts say otherwise.
Charged with murder, and facing his father’s same nightmarish confinement, Michael must face his worst nightmare and choose how far he will go to regain his freedom.

Two distinctly different worlds - a wealthy family and a prisoner at San Quentin. What could they have in Common?
An entertaining story of connections. Although nothing as it seems...
Suspenseful and keeps you guessing to the very end!
RECOMMEND!
Many Thanks to 85 Mercer Publishing & NetGalley for a great read!

This was my first read from David Temple, but it will not be the last. Devour is a psychological thriller at it’s best. It is gruesome and will keep you coming back for more. It moves at an almost frantic pace, but the story does not suffer because of it. Deceit. Lies. Love. Friendship. Respect and diversity. All of these elements are there and more. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you in engaged, and you will find yourself rooting for the characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book!

Keeps the action pulsing with enough intrigue to make it hard to turn the virtual pages fast enough. Thoroughly fleshed-out characters you tend to either like or dislike with enthusiasm. A great bedtime read that'll keep you engaged till the very end. Highly recommended!

Definitely not a book for those of a nervous disposition. I wasn't sure what to make of it to be honest. Some characters were too dislikeable to be true....then again who knows. I think this is one of those books where you have to go with the flow and not delve into it too much, and if read in the right spirit I think it is a pretty good read in this genre.It won't be to everyone's taste though. An interesting,and original read I think.
