Publisher's Synopsis
--Al DeSantis is ready to get out of Connecticut.

Begrudgingly, Al finds himself in the South and wrapped up in investigating a dead body found on the agency dock-a murder case that quickly becomes anything but straightforward.With an engaging cast of characters, fast-paced dialogue, and an intricate mystery plot that will keep readers guessing, Ang Pompano's novel is as gripping as a cinematic car chase and as unexpected as a fully-loaded gun. For those who crave a page-turning journey about family and bravery, When It's Time for Leaving constructs a bridge that readers will be eager to cross. -Sara McCrea, News @ Wesleyan
