A dark psychological crime novel by Jason Starr
There's more than one way to lose everything at the track.
Tommy Russo is a New York City bouncer with bigger dreams and a dangerous appetite for risk. When he's offered a chance to join a horse-owning syndicate, it feels like his ticket out of obscurity.
There's just one problem: the buy-in is $10,000-money he doesn't have.
What begins as a harmless lie soon spirals into obsession, betrayal, and violence as Tommy crosses line after line, convinced that one big score will fix everything. Instead, each decision tightens the trap, pulling him deeper into a nightmare of guilt, desperation, and self-destruction.
Fake I.D. is a dark psychological crime novel about ambition, identity, and the seductive pull of shortcuts-the kind that ruin lives.
Jason Starr is the link between Richard Prather and Albert Camus... It's almost impossible to do Fake I.D. its proper justice.
