Description
Emmy™-winning author A. R. Witham invites you to a tropical magic island inhabited by giant spiders, bounty hunters, and the world's most notorious criminals.
The Locke Institute has only three rules:
- Obey your betters.
- Gather at sunrise.
- Be inside by sundown.
But some men can't be told what to do.
Rooker Flynn is a rebellious, hot-tempered pirate who never met a rule he didn’t break. He wants his freedom, and he will stop at nothing to get it.
But the Headmistress is determined to break Rooker's spirit; she will use an arsenal of dark secrets to keep her pupils in line.
Good thing Rooker knows one student who is smarter than all the rest put together; a kid genius who knows strange mysteries that are not of this world...a foreign land called Chicago.
Working together, Rooker's bravado and the kid's brains might be enough to outwit their captor and stage a daring escape...or die trying.

Advance Praise
"From start to finish this book is a fantastic ride. The character development of Rooker and Jack and their relationship is excellent. The backdrop for the adventure is very compelling and filled with colorful characters and intriguing magical dynamics. As a 38-year-old father I enjoyed this book, and my 9-year-old daughter enjoyed it as well. AR Witham is on to something!"
"I just finished book #1 of the Locke Institute Trilogy and it was absolutely fantastic! I enjoyed this book so much! I read The Legend of Black Jack previously and became fascinated with the world of Keymark. I especially enjoyed the island of Locke Institute; the setting for this book and all the great characters."
"Witham does it again by crafting a new story that explores the darker side of Keymark. Rooker Flynn, who we met in the story of Black Jack, takes the lead in this story of what happens to the people who cause trouble in the noble land of Keymark. If you enjoyed The Legend of Black Jack, you will also love The Crimes of Rooker Flynn."
"I’m unimaginably impressed by A.R. Witham as a writer. His pacing, his construction of a story, everything. He knows exactly what he wants from the story, and delivers exactly that...Suffice it to say, once again, A.R. Witham has written one of my favorite books of the year."
