About this ebook

Instant New York Times Bestseller!

After a shocking accident, Silas Tucker’s legendary football career is suddenly over in this action-packed sports thriller powered by loyalty, competition, and family. 

“Fascinating ... deeply American ... the story of a town that needs a different kind of hero. The plot is so propulsive, it blows you away. This is a great one.” ―Morning Joe

After surviving a shocking accident and a brush with fame, Silas Tucker returns to his backwoods hometown. Cross Rivers, North Carolina, is where he fell in love with a local girl—and where his father was murdered by the roadside. Now Silas is pulled into a deadly battle with the Southern Mafia crime ring aiming to destroy not only his past but his future. 

His unbreakable rule: don’t ride these country roads alone.

"No character is safe in this novel ... a small-town crime thriller that makes for a truly unique read.” ―Bookreporter

way too much writing filler than plot. This book seriously has multiple chapters with nothing more than dinner details or gym workout details with a bunch of song lyrics throughout. spent 2 two chapters telling readers there was no more news on the missing criminals.. disappointed

It was like a bunch of cliches strung together. the violence should have been exciting but wasn't for me. it was predictable and not the best work from these authors.
