WHAT'S THE STORY?


The kill clock is ticking... 

Pearce's ex-girlfriend is back. 

She needs twenty grand before midnight. 
Or she's dead. 

She doesn't have the money. 
Nor does Pearce. 

And time's running out. Fast.

REVIEWS

"the simplicity of the text is pure fire."
Somebody Dies

"dark humor, sharp dialog, good action and an explosive finale"
MysteryBookSpot

"The story again follows Pearce, a character from Guthrie's debut, Two-Way Split, and the recent Hard Man. it picks up after Hard Man, and finds Pearce confronting someone from his past who brings a sticky -- and deadly -- situation to his doorstep. The sentences may be shorter than usual and the language choices may be a bit simpler than in his other work, but it's still a ripping read."
Things I'd Rather Be Doing

"It's hard to imagine even a reluctant reader who wouldn't enjoy this story."
Bill Crider's Pop Culture Magazine
