Crushed
Would you rather be presumed dead or accused of a murder you didn't commit? That's Sig Thorson's terrible dilemma.
It's 1980, and Sig has the worst job at the slaughterhouse--pulling the damn bone cart. In a moment of utter frustration, he stomps off the job unnoticed. A few minutes later, a mutilated body appears on the conveyor, and everyone thinks it's Sig's. What now? Does he expose himself, go to the cops, and try to explain things? Would they arrest him? This is Sig's second wrong-place-wrong-time episode. The first one earned him four days in jail. But if he stays underground, will he be able to fit the pieces together and clear his name? With almost nothing to go on, it won't be easy--and the clock is ticking because the conspirators are hellbent on making sure he never resurfaces.
Crushed pits the Chicago mob against a surprisingly resourceful group of eighteen-year-olds from small-town Minnesota. Narrated from the perspective of multiple characters, this cat-and-mouse thriller makes you (the reader) the wellhead of critical information, masterfully enfolding you into the story.
Clear your schedule. Once you've met the eclectic cast of characters, you won't want to go anywhere until the ride is over.
