Imagine that organized crime has, in effect, targeted family values. Further imagine the result just might resemble this heartwarming Christian novel's story. Specifically:
He is a scientist, secretly winning the world's major lotteries. The Russian mob wants him dead.
She is a single parent on the run from a vicious drug lord. Nobody in law enforcement believes her story.
He and she find each other as predators from around the globe unite against them. Soon a lottery's one-in-ten-million odds might look better than their chances of staying alive.
Daniel Riley's two elder brothers are superstars. They each married a remarkable woman and fathered marvelous children. It was mostly the two brothers who built Trenchant Security into an industry leader. Their good reputations now reach into all the right places.
Daniel's life has not kept pace. A brilliant scientist, he all but lived in his lab, happily focused on basic research his brothers funded. For decades, he discovered little that mattered. Meanwhile, life passed him by. At age sixty-one, he remains unmarried and childless. Not having started a family is now his major regret.
Even so, his research has finally paid off. With his brothers' essential help, Daniel might soon be far more famous than they are. Staying alive will soon become much harder, though. The Russian mob is about to send accomplished killers after Daniel.
While Daniel Riley was giving up having a family to instead forge a career, Deborah McSweeney made family her priority. When her daughter and son-in-law died in a car accident, Deborah and her husband took over raising their grandson. Although Deborah was a gifted CPA with uncanny instincts for taxation law, she put her career on hold.
Years later, when her grandson was ten years old, she tried working outside the home again. She became the controller for a small company secretly owned by drug smugglers. She reported the smuggling, but then everything went wrong. Her husband was killed in what looked like an accident, but seemed an attempt to murder her. The smuggling proof she relied upon mysteriously disappeared, and the police didn't believe her story without it.
Her company fired her. Anonymous death threats began. She took her grandson and ran from the Mexican narco baron, who controlled the small company. She and her grandson have been on the run for nearly two years and Deborah's running out of money. More frightening still, she's about to get caught.
So far, this is the only Randall Jarmon story to prominently feature what might be deemed a recreational vehicle. It's a very unique RV, to be sure. Options include a gun pod on the roof, a thousand pounds of dynamite under the floor, and a very powerful computer. For twelve-year-old Shawn McSweeney, the computer's the best video game system ever.
Chronologically, this novel is the first one in the Riley/ Blue Dog series. However, every single one of Randall Jarmon's novels can be read in any order.
