Instant New York Times Bestseller!
After a shocking accident, Silas Tucker’s legendary football career is suddenly over in this action-packed sports thriller powered by loyalty, competition, and family.
“Fascinating … deeply American … the story of a town that needs a different kind of hero. The plot is so propulsive, it blows you away. This is a great one.” ―Morning Joe
After surviving a shocking accident and a brush with fame, Silas Tucker returns to his backwoods hometown. Cross Rivers, North Carolina, is where he fell in love with a local girl—and where his father was murdered by the roadside. Now Silas is pulled into a deadly battle with the Southern Mafia crime ring aiming to destroy not only his past but his future.
His unbreakable rule: don’t ride these country roads alone.
"No character is safe in this novel … a small-town crime thriller that makes for a truly unique read.” ―Bookreporter
