Salmon Run

by S.W. Capps

Woodrow Salmon has it all-a great career, money, a beautiful wife. Yet inside his gut burns like a warehouse fire. But that's all about to change. Wading into the cool Pacific, he has no idea what awaits him-a scuba diver hired by his wife, his assignment murder. But a violent wave rips the victim from his attacker's grip, leaving Woodrow without a swimsuit. Dazed and naked, he stumbles up the crowded beach, only to be arrested for indecent exposure. The terrifying incident launches Woodrow from the familiar to the uncertain, robbing him of all he knows, from his wife to his job to his three-year-old twins. Alone and on the run, he embarks on a fateful quest of self-discovery, crossing paths with a string of memorable characters, each propelling him one step closer to the truth. Woodrow's journey unfolds like the layers of a human heart, leading him back to the dreams he'd long forgotten, the life he'd once abandoned, and the person he believed he'd lost forever. Are there really second chances in life? Only if we take them.

I enjoyed this book. It reminded me of "The Fugitive"...the wrongly accused going on a cross-country trip around the pacific northwest trying to figure out what happened, and learning a lot about himself. And it had it all - love interest, pity-fest, some triumphs over adversity, etc. For some reason this book hit me the right way and although it won't be on my favorite list, it's a quick and satisfying read.

Woodrow Salmon has a great life until he accidentally gets caught up in a run for his life. While I don’t usually have a penchant for this type of adventure, I must admit S.W. Capps’ tightly knit plot kept me turning the page to see what would happen next.
