Road of No Return

By Annie Reed
Road of No Return by Annie Reed digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, NICK JAMES DID THE RIGHT THING. HE reported a crime. But doing the right thing came at a terrible cost: the loss of everything and everyone he held dear.

 

Nick James used to be a cop with a promising career. Now he works as a bartender at a sleezy Las Vegas strip club. Friendless and alone, he lives as far under the radar as he can get.

 

Until one night when a simple act of kindness blows his anonymous life to bits, sending him on a collision course with the one person he's been hiding from all these years: his former partner, a violent, crooked ex-cop with mob connections who blames Nick for sending him to prison.

 

In order to survive, Nick must do something he never thought he'd do. Turn the tables on his pursuer. Come out of the shadows to become the hunter instead of the hunted. All he needs is a little luck on his side.

 

But luck can be a fickle lady, especially in a town like Las Vegas.
