Fresh Fiction Review

The Devil Orders Takeout

Mystery | Thriller

Grayson Bolt is a tax lawyer with a wonderful wife and two sons. Grayson has turned down a request by a crime boss to help him out of tax fraud. Little did Grayson know, this would come back to haunt him. Everything changes when Grayson and his wife are on their way to a well-deserved weekend getaway and come across a horse down on the road. When they get out to help the horse, they also hear a girl screaming down the cliffside. As they try to save her, her grandfather pulls up drunk, spooks the horse, and she falls down the cliff. The old man leaves them with chilling parting words: "You will regret this."

The grandfather's words ring true as eventually Grayson's wife and one of his sons die in a car accident. As much as the cops say it was an accident, Grayson knows that Randall, the ominous old man, was behind it. Grayson realizes he must do is ask the crime boss for help and his life will be changed forever.

Fast forward several years and Grayson's son, Jim, is all grown up and on his way to being a great golfer. Grayson has made a deal with the crime boss so Jim will win several tournaments and the boss will make a ton of money. This would also save Jim and Grayson's lives... But will they really be safe?

Wow, talk about a book you can't put down! The story moves between past and present storylines, but the way that Bill Briers writes you will not get confused. Briers also writes how a person will do whatever he must to protect his family, even murder. There was so much going on in THE DEVIL ORDERS TAKEOUT, I just couldn't wait to see what would happen next. I found myself cheering on Grayson, and even though what he does isn't always right, it still makes you love him. Couldn't get enough of this book, will have to find other books by Bill Brier.

SUMMARY

A tax attorney with integrity…a powerful mobster determined to bend his will…

Grayson Bolt isn’t about to compromise his integrity to help a notorious crime boss escape the cross-hairs of the IRS. But there’s a steep price to pay for defying The Man—Grayson’s beloved wife and older son.

There’s only one way for Grayson to prevent his younger son, Jim, an innocent golf prodigy, from also being taken out: play a dangerous game of cat and mouse. And what will Jim be forced to do when the woman he loves gets ensnarled in a web of betrayal and deceit?
