Hawke's Discovery
by Mark Willen
A violent felon unexpectedly set free. An anonymous tip to a newspaper reporter. An ugly
scandal that threatens a gubernatorial candidate. Together, they amount to another high-stakes
crisis for Jonas Hawke—especially since the newspaper reporter is his son and the violent
felon a former client.
With the election drawing close and his son eager to run with a story he can't verify, it's up
to Jonas to unwrap the mystery, protect his son, and see that justice is done. What he discovers
tests his loyalties and thrusts him squarely into the middle of a political campaign.
Hawke's Discovery, a stand-alone third novel in Mark Willen's Jonas Hawke series, has everything
readers have come to expect—a page-turning plot with true-to-life characters confronting
ethical dilemmas that have no easy solutions.
Praise for Hawke's Discovery
In his third novel, Mark Willen continues to explore how and why characters make the critical
decisions that shape their lives. With a controversy that pits individuals' rights to privacy
against the people's right to know, Willen proves he's a master of creating compelling
circumstances and pushing readers to decide what the characters should do about them.
Hawke's Discovery is outstanding fiction. It kept me guessing and made me think.
~ Sally Whitney, author of Surface and Shadow
Beacon Junction is the kind of place where you can walk everywhere but might not need to go
anywhere—until the town becomes the pulsing heart of Vermont—and the site of this
page-turner. Willen's style brings to mind that of Richard Russo. A five-star read!
~ Gary Garth McCann, author of The Man Who Asked to Be Killed
Characters traverse a dense and intriguing morally gray area . . . An
unhurried tale that makes its enthralling characters the biggest mystery of all.
~ Kirkus Reviews
