added a status update: You’re coerced into distributing blackmail demands, but when one victim retaliates, you’re running for your life. Only one person can help you: your blackmailer. But finding an experienced criminal who doesn’t intend to be found is going to need all your cunning and ingenuity.
This summaries Backlash, the tense and page-turning new crime thriller, available now. |
