Out Now

The Exhumation

“. . . action-packed with a multilayered protagonist . . . The greatest feat of this novel is the extensive character development and the gradual unearthing of not only a corpse, but the deeper story behind the antihero driving the story. Padron’s novel is a unique war-time adventure with a conflicted lead and an affair against all odds.”
