Extended description

Stockbroker Jack Skinner has worked hard to make a good life for his wife and newborn daughter. But the diaper changes, long commutes and pressures of the job have worn him down. The chance to sneak away to Las Vegas to party with an old friend seems like the perfect way to recharge.

A world away from manicured lawns and two-car garages, Rob Hollister is in deep. Real deep. In love with a prostitute and hooked on drugs, he knows walking away is not in his cards. These guys kill for amusement as much as business, and they don’t believe in new beginnings.

In this fast-paced thriller, a suburban family man in pursuit of a weekend getaway finds himself trying to get away with his life. In the grip of evil men with dangerous connections, it’s a party that could come at the price of his family.

I greatly enjoyed this book! I definitely intend to read more of this author’s work when it comes available.
Unfortunately I encountered quite a few typos (in the epub version I downloaded from Kobo), such as “…drivers speeding buy” and “…blew the smoke from his noise”, as well as several occurrences of “their” and “your”, where it should read “they’re” and “you’re”.

All in all a great read, though.
