Twelve years ago Matthew "the Rocket" Rising had it all. Married to his high school sweetheart and one of the winningest quarterbacks in the history of college football, he was the number one NFL draft pick. But on the night of the draft, he plummeted from the pinnacle of esteem. Falsely accused of a heinous crime with irrefutable evidence, it seemed in an instant all was lost--his reputation, his career, his freedom, and most devastatingly, the love of his life.

A successful LA artist, Roman Velasco appears to have everything he could possibly want - money, women, fame. Only Grace Moore, his reluctant, newly hired personal assistant, knows how little he truly has. The demons of Roman's past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view. But Grace doesn't know how her boss secretly wrestles with those demons: by tagging buildings as the Bird, a notorious but unidentified graffiti artist - an alter ego that could destroy his career and land him in prison.

Casey Cox's DNA is all over the crime scene. There's no use talking to police; they have failed her abysmally before. She has to flee before she's arrested...or worse. The truth doesn't matter anymore. But what is the truth? That's the question haunting Dylan Roberts, the war-weary veteran hired to find Casey.

Worthy Writing....
Charles Martin is a a gifted writer, however his stories are sometimes hard to take, much like life, so if you listen to books to escape the difficulties of life, well, be aware. My favorite so far is Chasing Fireflies. This is a really good read but it makes you look at raw pain. I love the interaction between these true friends. It makes you aware of the impact we have on one another. Charles Martin's books feed us in a way I cannot define. It is like a light he shelters and his stories stir that in me.

How good it feels to read a really good book.
This story held me every minute right with the authors words and the very excellent narration. I liked the different kinds of love and caring that small community had
I didn't dislike any part of the story except the coon hunt, which was a little too real and the thought of snuggling pink... Yuck. But I will search out every book Charles Martin has written because" his words touch my soul.

Cant get enough Charles Martin
If you could sum up The Dead Don't Dance in three words, what would they be?
Feels so good!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dead Don't Dance?
I think mentioning what is the most memorable moment to someone reading this review would ruin the story. Each person had to experience it for themselves.
What does Tom Stechschulte bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The emotion that is brought to life by the reader makes the story all the more compelling.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book made me cry with compassion for the main character.
Any additional comments?
This is a must listen book.
