Book Summary
Raised to be a thief and getaway driver, Chase left the
bent life after he found his true love, Lila. For ten
years he walked the straight and narrow—until Lila was
murdered. Now Chase is looking for his grandfather Jonah,
the stone-cold-killer con man who raised him anis the last
living repository of his family’s darkest secrets. In
returning to his criminal roots, Chase hopes to save
Jonah’s infant daughter from the life that Chase himself
can’t escape.
But first he’ll need a score. Chase
thinks he’s found it as a driver for a dysfunctional crime
family that’s anything but organized. With the Langans’
patriarch dying, the once powerful syndicate may unravel
before Chase can rip it off. If he survives the bloodbath
to come, he’ll face an even uglier showdown. Because his
grandfather Jonah is waiting for him at the coldest family
reunion this side of hell.
