A Library Journal Best Thriller of the Year,
The End of the Road
is a fast-paced rural noir with a rich Midwestern setting. For fans of Dennis Lehane and Cormac McCarthy
Getting out of the game is never easy.
Bank robber Myles expects a deal when he testifies against gang ringleader Pryor - but it's Myles who ends up in prison while Pryor gets off scot-free.
On his release, Myles decides he's done with crime. There's just one hitch: in order to be truly free of his past, he needs to stop Pryor... for good.
But Pryor isn't so easy to kill. It's Myles who ends up at death's door, and Myles' girlfriend Penny who must carry out his plans for revenge.
As Pryor's gang target their biggest score yet, a legendary fortune hidden in a small Ohio town, Penny seizes her chance. Can she avenge Myles... or will Pryor's deadly games spell disaster for them both?
