In the tourist-filled streets of Key West, four lives are drawn together by the currents of chance. Janet, fleeing the suffocating grip of an abusive marriage, rediscovers a long-buried passion for art. Randall, a charter boat captain, battles financial ruin and the ghost of his past. Stacy, an aspiring songwriter, yearns for the breakthrough to transform her dreams into reality. And Eli, an escape artist facing the twilight of his career and fading vision, prepares himself for his final performance.

As their paths converge, each must confront the struggles that define them. But when a violent act threatens to shatter the fragile bonds they've forged, tragedy sets the stage for moments of unexpected triumph.

Green Flash at Sunset is a story of resilience, hope, and the search for freedom in facing life's harshest realities. On the shimmering shores of Key West, destinies intertwine in ways none of them could have foreseen, leaving an indelible mark on their lives and their hearts.

Praise for this book

"Green Flash at Sunset is a propulsive yet intimate tale of four characters seeking redemption along the haunting, beautiful shores of Key West. Schuck's words ooze with authenticity in these pages that you'll burn through until this novel's eye-popping ending."

-Scott Blackburn, author of It Dies with You

"I'm a big fan of novels set in Florida, and this one totally fits the bill! Green Flash at Sunset takes you to a small, fictional town in North Florida and later to Key West. It's an awesome read that dives into the complicated lives of its characters, who are all products of their environment. Nic's writing is so vivid and descriptive, really bringing to life the gritty reality and uniqueness of small-town Florida and life in Key West. Definitely a page-turner!

Green Flash at Sunset is a relatable journey that dives into how our surroundings influence who we become. I felt like I knew the characters the whole time. Nic Schuck has done it again!"

-W.J. Speed, author of The Lost Republic

"Nic Schuck has once again delivered a fine work of literary Americana.

Green Flash at Sunset is the tale of an eclectic cast of Floridians seeking to find meaning in their turbulent histories. Spanning the entire geographic state, and examining the themes of loss, tradition, and redemption, the novel builds on Schuck's earlier works in bringing to life the deep and grimy truth about the Sunshine State, bringing to mind the works of Harry Crews, Elmore Leonard, and Charles Willeford."

-D.S. Davis, author of Each One a Nation

"Schuck has a knack for making the scenes tremendously dramatic, adding a touch of twisted humor to the story. The evocative and cinematic depictions brought the scenes to life and full color on the pages. It felt like I was next to the cast in every scene, closely following their flawed lives unfolding from the multiple perspectives and double timeline. The raw, gritty, character-driven conversations, alongside the introspective commentary, gave depth to the cast's conflicts. Schuck harnesses sentiment to the storyline, allowing me to experience the cast's emotions. Juxtaposing their complex traits made it easy to connect with them. Nic Schuck's Green Flash at Sunset is what lovers of drama novels blended with suspense, thrills, and noir crime should be looking for."
