Karma Backlash
It’s amazing what a murdered friend can do to a directionless man, the passion and anger it can stoke, the sadness it fires into a body, the need for good old revenge it nurtures. Searching for his best friend's killer, Derby, a blue-collar gangster in a white-collar world, uncovers the beginning of a complicated mob war that threatens to bring down the whole city.
To find the answers he needs, Derby tries to stay focused: Find the killer. Clear his friend’s name. Stop a war. Don’t fall in love.
He traverses Toledo, a city that grows old with him, unearths secrets his boss doesn’t want exposed, and hopes to find that man he used to be before his mid-life crisis becomes the last crisis he ever experiences.

I loved Derby! His droll, dry wit is priceless and the author's ability to intersperse this in unfolding the who-dun-it drama marked a talent for character development. Plot will surprise you. Again and again.
Bring Derby and Joseph back in a series!

Action packed. Kept me guessing until the last page. Hope there will be another installment...Recommended for those who like a violent romp through Toledo, Ohio.
