Salvation by Kevin Creighton

About five years ago, I realized that while I really enjoyed reading authors like John D. Macdonald, Robert B. Parker and others, those authors would often stray into areas that conflicted with my faith. I loved reading about men acting with honor and righting the wrongs of the world, but at a certain point, the prose of these books would take a turn for the lurid and depart from my deeply held beliefs.

So I decided to do something about it.

“Salvation” is my debut novel. It’s a detective/thriller novel set in Southwest Florida and Miami. I wrote it from what I like to call a “faith-adjacent” point of view. It’s a story of a man struggling to find his place in this often-confusing world, a man who is determined to bring justice back into the world and at the same time discovers that, yes, there is more to this life than what happens in the here and now.

I really hope you'll enjoy reading it, and if you do, please remember to leave a review.
