Publisher's summary

A knock on the door in the middle of the night sets off a dangerous and deadly pursuit in this riveting stand-alone entry in the Cain City series.

Ephraim Rivers, a struggling single father on the brink of losing his factory job, is working the graveyard shift when a man with a bullet in his gut stumbles in, whispering of stolen money. Ephraim sees an opportunity to alter the course of his family’s fortunes, and becomes obsessed with finding the loot.

But there are bad men pursuing the treasure - and for them, the opportunity is to seize power and to settle scores. Killing means nothing to them, whether it’s each other - or anyone who gets in their way.

Ephraim just wants to do right - by his son, whose medical bills are piling up; by his father, whose time on this Earth may not be long. But it’s a fine line between desire and greed - and crossing that line could be Ephraim’s final act.

The bad guys are sociopaths

The violence is very graphic disturbing. Be prepared. It is definitely written from a male prospective, especially the sex scenes. But the writing is good and the story is told at a perfect pace, in my opinion.

Sprinkled Some Sass

See Shelly’s review for details. Mr Fliakos breaks your heart narrating this tale of a young Loving and Caring Father. It took me three try’s to finish this book as l don’t like sad stories of heartbreak. For me it is the journey not the finality of the story. Author has a rich dialogue for the two friends who get into mischief together eg. The frog experiment. This was an Audible Original, FREE in 9-23-21. The other Cain city stories are excellent without this type of heartbreak, this l can do without but this is one story you do want to finish if you start.
Were my comments of help?

this guy

Three in and not one less then 5 stars. Love this author and this series.
Ari Fliakos!!!! Could not have picked a more perfect narrator. He could read a cereal box and make it come to life.
Thank You Mr. Fredrick!!

Well played story

This was an all around good story. You could "feel" the characters, could imagine where the story took place, most people should enjoy the storyline.
