The Code
It should have been an otherwise uneventful Sunday morning for Charleston attorney Noah Parks. Perhaps a trip to the beach or a run with his new Australian Shepherd, Austin. But with a cryptic voicemail, everything changes.
A client has vanished, leaving nothing behind as a clue to where he may be. Neither his family, friends, nor neighbors are able to provide help.
Turning to his friend Emmett Gabriel, Charleston’s newest police detective, Parks can only watch as what started with a simple voicemail takes on a sinister life of its own.
Parks soon finds himself entangled in an affair that spans centuries, going back to the time of Charleston’s birth.
With a focus on learning his client’s fate, Parks will soon find himself facing a mystery that will not only be a test of his wits but leaves him challenged in ways he never imagined.
Facing down twists, turns, betrayals, and traditions of honor, will he break The Code?

Warm. Wet. Gone. Warm. Wet. Gone.
This sensation. I knew it. No. Wait. Did I?
Warm. Wet. Gone. Warm. Wet. Gone.
This was no good. This wasn’t sleeping. I needed to go back to sleep.
But…
Again.
Warm. Wet. Gone. Warm. Wet. Gone.
I didn't want to wake up. It was too early on a Sunday. A late Saturday
night. Friends. Did I meet anyone? No. Drinks? Yes, drinks. Not too many drinks.
Maybe too many drinks.
What was this? Who was this?
Warm. Wet. Gone. Warm. Wet. Gone.
Wait.
Oh, that’s right.
Austin.
I was in bed with Austin.
Austin was demanding attention.
Immediate attention.
As the light of the pending dawn filled the room, I opened my eyes. The
entirety of my vision was filled with a brown dog nose only inches from mine.
Then a warm and wet dog lick.
Austin, my Australian Shepherd.
My new alarm clock.
He was a rescue, abandoned by his owners, barely old enough to be away
from his mother. During the nine months, he’d been with me, he'd acclimated to
his new home. And he’d grown. He’d gone from a scrawny 15 pounds to a healthy
and very energetic 45. He was smart, easily trained, with a unique personality and
a striking red-tri coat. He was friendly but fiercely protective of me.
He is also the author of Mediation in the Family Courts of South Carolina, a legal treatise on family law mediation.
He lives and writes in Charleston, South Carolina.
In addition to his writing, Sean is a recording and performing guitarist/singer/songwriter of Americana and Alt-Country music. Watch him sing Carolina Sunset which was inspired by his latest book, The Code. Listen here!
