MetroCafe
Mike Baxter, along with his three best friends and colleagues, are enjoying their annual golfing vacation in Florida with their wives when tragedy strikes, turning their all too comfortable world upside down.
The four friends are now down to three and they quickly become embroiled in an apparent embezzlement scheme that their dead friend seems to have engineered. The company that bears Mike’s name is in the thick of it and the friends desperately attempt to buy time before being forced to disclose the deception to their Board of Directors and shareholders.
Was it simple embezzlement? Or was it something far more sinister and horrifying?
One lie leads to another, as Mike embarks on his quest to discover the truth. That quest leads him in a direction he never could have imagined, while at the same time the side effects of a rare medical condition have him scrambling. Unable to look away any longer, he is shocked into facing a long-forgotten past that inadvertently helped create a modern-day monster.
The closer he gets to the truth, the tighter the squeeze of the noose. His life spirals out of control as a devious and brilliant puppet-master prepares to execute a final act of revenge and terror that will endanger Mike’s family, his friends—and an entire city.
MetroCafe moves at a breathtaking pace and the journey takes the reader through its unpredictable twists and turns, rushing headlong toward its spine-tingling conclusion.
