Brendan and Mike thought an old man alone would be an easy touch. They have no idea who Lester Walls once was. Or what he’s capable of today. And coming onto his secluded property could cost them their lives just like that.
Description
All Lester Walls wants is to live a quiet life in upstate New York. For too many years he did the bidding of others. He lived dog years on both sides of the law. Now he’s out for himself, ready to cash in.
But early one morning, two young men come trespassing. Mike and Brendan think Lester is a soft touch for robbery. An old man living alone, too isolated to count on help from the rural cops. But they have no idea what Lester was, who he is now and what he has at his disposal.
Can he run these earlybirds off? Scare them away? Or will he have to dig a grave and give them all the worms they want?
From the acclaimed author of the Jonah Geller series, and two-time winner of the Arthur Ellis Award, comes a story with rich characters, sharp dialogue, assured writing and an ending you won’t see coming.
