Thriller Crime
Perfect for fans of S. A. Cosby and Allen Eskens, Joe
Pendergast must go all in one last time as he grapples with
the ghosts of his past–and present–in this
gritty, high-stakes thriller.
Sixty-four-year-old
Joe has known violence his entire life. For forty years,
he’s worked as an enforcer for loan shark and close
friend Maxie Smith, breaking more than a few bones along the
way. When Maxie abruptly fires him, Joe isn’t sure
where to lay the blame—on Maxie, the man he once
considered his brother, or on the early-onset
Alzheimer’s that made Maxie lose faith in him in the
first place.
To keep his head above water, he
begins to operate a food truck that’s barely getting
by. Desperate to regain some purpose in his life, Joe makes
a life-altering decision: he’s going to take down
Maxie Smith by any means necessary, once and for all.
However, his plan of revenge is sidelined when he meets
twenty-two-year-old Paula Jessup, a wise-cracking amateur
detective with a few scheming cards up her sleeve,
who’s on the run from a trafficking ring she’s
been investigating. The two form an unlikely bond: Paula
needs some protection and Joe needs a purpose.
With the stakes running high and the clock ticking
down—will this gamble pay off?
