Book excerpt: "I didn't win the lottery…I stole it" Frank, a disgraced soldier, former brothel bouncer, and self-proclaimed deadsh*t, awakens from a year-long coma, his mind a jigsaw of the gruesome car crash that almost killed him. Fragments of that night haunt him: a violent wreck, the young couple, Kurt and Ellie, who found him and his girlfriend Angel, took their life-changing lottery prize, and vanished, leaving them for dead. Driven by a fiery need for revenge, Frank sets out on a relentless mission to track them down. Brace yourself for the shocking final confrontation that reveals the enigmatic truth in this emotionally charged neo-noir tale. "I check the shotgun, one in the chamber and four in the tube. Looking up to the sky, I take a deep breath and notice a few of the brighter stars, wondering at what point they look away, if they even can—now would be a good time."
