Jersey Heat
ByPublisher Description
A gorgeous scientist. A duffle bag of cash. A tough guy's only chance to do the right thing.
All his life, Pete's been a big man with pain and hurt simmering just under the skin. He hates taking chances, because he knows what'll happen if he explodes.
This was supposed to be the summer he slacked off in a sweet gig as a security guard in the 'burbs. But when a body floats to the top of a reservoir, Pete's cushy job at the water company goes belly-up.
Now a beautiful biologist needs Pete's help putting the screws to his sadistic boss before the guy pulls off a land swindle worth millions.
As the clock ticks and the body count rises, Pete must decide: Will he do what's easy and make a killing in real estate? Or take a stand and risk a killing of a different kind?
Jersey Heat is an action-packed, full-length thriller with all the twists, turns, savage wit, eccentric characters, and black humor found in the work of Elmore Leonard or Carl Hiaasen.
It's always summer in Jersey Heat. Get it now and start your hot, gritty, high-stakes ride today!
