A real page turner that held me in its grip from the very first sentence. -Tom Robotham, award-winning writer
. . . a compelling read, with gripping writing and themes of loss and revenge. -Miranda Faye Dillon, award-winning author of The Unshatterables
English professor Vere Larson and his family are living an idyllic life in a quiet college town when a baseball injury interrupts the promising sports career of his son, Chris. A doctor prescribes pain-killing drugs that subtly but quickly ensnare Chris in addiction, leading him to street drugs and the horrors that hard drugs so often create.
As the harm to his family escalates, Vere seeks revenge on the drug dealers who have destroyed his family's happiness. His violently effective vigilante actions lead to dangerous confrontations with corrupt police and a ruthless drug cartel.
Vere's story should resonate with anyone whose life has been affected by drug addiction or has ever wished they could strike back at the heartless drug dealers pouring their poison onto our streets.
