A compulsive gambler in debt to a Houston gangster, Grant Frederickson finds the words “TIME TO PAY” spray-painted on the walls of his apartment. But before he can confront the man he believes murdered his wife, he is dealt a wild card.
Maddy is on the run herself and Grant is in the right place at the right time to protect her from the mysterious men who pursue her.
But was their meeting truly accidental? Maddy seems to know more than she should—not just about Grant, but about the Future itself and where it will inevitably lead them: To New Orleans and Death.
From the author of HALLOWED and THE MALL comes the fast-paced new thriller about dark fear, mortal courage and blind faith.
An action packed, mysteriously exciting adventure.
Grant Frederickson is a man destroyed, he has lost his beloved wife, and now is targeted by Houston gangster Arturo Torres, hounded for debts he cannot pay. With the world on his shoulders, and Rudy, Torres’ henchman watching him all the time, there is no escaping the corner he has got himself into, but what does he care, he has nothing to live for...
Then, just when he is at his lowest, resigned to his fate, a young woman called Maddy jumps into his car, and beseeches him for help. She is fleeing from pursuers who she calls ‘Blank Men,’ men who are determined to capture her.
Suddenly, his problems take a back seat as he finds himself protecting her. But who is this Maddy, this mysterious young woman with a hidden past and incredible abilities, and why are the Blank Men hunting her?
Soon he finds his life inextricably entwined with hers, and can’t help but ask himself more and more, was their meeting really coincidental, or was it destiny? As their flight leads them to New Orleans he wonders, will they find answers there?
I believe that this book will appeal to readers, like myself, who love a truly unique story, with plenty of twists, turns, and which keeps you guessing until the very last page.
Excellent read, filled with action from beginning to end. Characters are well developed and likable (even the bad guys), and the plot is well-paced.
The author's first two books had some major editing issues (still worth a read, though), but this one is much improved, with nothing that distracts from immersing yourself in the story.
This was a fast paced story that takes place over no !ore than a week although it may be even less time than that. There is mention of faith, but there is profanity. Overall the story is good and definitely worth reading. I received this book free from one of the book subscription emails.
