Matt Worth hits rock bottom when he loses his wife to a detective whom he attacks in front of his fellow officers. This is completely humiliating, since the outcome is not in his favor. Now his current assignment is patrolling the local Savemore grocery store where he used to work as a kid. But he's determined to make the best of the situation.
When Gwen, a young and pretty cashier, comes to him beaten and battered with a perplexing problem, Matt will make a decision that could end his career. With the help of his older brother, Vince, and the knowledge he's gained on the force, Matt will attempt to accomplish the impossible.
Sean Doolittle is an exhilarating and brilliant author. Every page entertained me and kept me turning each one of them in anticipation of the outcome.
Matthew Worth is a mess. Somewhere between a good cop and
a bad screwup, he botched a marriage and a career. His
fellow officers think heβs a joke. His commanders are
tired of cutting him breaks. Even his wife has left him
for a flashy homicide detective. Busted to night patrol at
a robbery-prone Omaha supermarket, Worth is doing time,
wearing his uniform and asking shoppers if they want paper
or plastic. If that isnβt enough, he suspects he might be
falling for Gwen, the shy checkout girl who may be an even
bigger mess than he is. It couldnβt get any worse. Until
it does.
When Gwen comes to him one night scared and desperate for
help, Worth discovers just how far heβs willing to go to
protect and serve. The next thing he knows, heβs driving a
stolen car with a corpse in the trunk, a pistol in the
glove box, and no way to turn back. Everything he doesnβt
know could get them killed. And things havenβt even begun
to get messy yet....
