Brody Ellis

is short on luck and even shorter on cash to buy the medication his sister

Molly needs.

 

Desperate,

he robs a convenience store, but on the way out, he bumps into a young woman

and loses his wallet. Just when he expects the cops to arrive, the phone rings.

It’s Blair Mayo—the woman he bumped into—and she’s got the missing billfold. Brody

will get it back, but only if he does her a favor: steal her late mother’s

diamonds from her wicked stepmom.

 

Cornered

with no way out, Brody agrees. But when he gets to the house, he finds a

gruesome crime scene—and a security camera. Brody knows he’s been framed.

 

Back home,

the terrified young man gets another call. The police won’t get the

incriminating video footage, Blair says. Instead, her daddy, the notorious

mobster Jimmy Latzo, will exact his own kind of revenge.

 

Brody and

Molly realize that they’ve become pawns in a mysterious game—one that involves

a notorious enforcer named Lola Bear who brutally crossed paths with Jimmy

Latzo twenty-six years before. . . a ghost from the past who is intimately

connected to their lives.
