A Trace of Smoke : a Novel by O.J. Bryson is a work of fiction available to read on EtoBox.

A Trace of "O.J. Bryson's writing combines an engrossing plot, vivid characterizations, and deftly-paced action into a genuinely pleasurable read. But even more importantly, he manages to capture the sites and sounds of the Tennessee/Carolina mountains and their people. His ear for natural dialogue adds a dimension to rival the best . . ." --William Thompson, Editor Emeritus for John Grisham and Stephen King "O.J. Bryson's "Trace of Smoke" is both a gripping thriller of political intrigue and a tale of personal courage. It's also prescient in predicting the fallout from the machinations of the tobacco lobby--how did he know this stuff before the headlines? Bryson has created an appealing and credible ingnue--no, let's call her a superhero--because she's smart, attractive and a very strong woman fueled by integrity. Bryson's ear for dialogue is uncanny. And his descriptions of the places where the action is set in the heart of the Smoky Mountains brings the scent of burning (oak?) firewood to the reader's mind. The action in this novel is fast-paced and holds suspense to the very last page. I can't wait to see what else Mr. Bryson is writing." --Rosalie Muller Wright, Consulting Edi
