Who do you call when a cop is trying to kill you?


John Reed is a good man, a simple man. But his life is turning out all wrong. As an amateur mixed martial arts fighter, he’s lost his only three bouts, and his estranged wife does everything she can to keep John away from his six-year-old son. As he leaves the unemployment office, he thinks that things can’t get any worse.

He’s wrong.

When Reed hears the sounds of someone struggling and goes to investigate, his life takes a bad turn he never could have anticipated.

What he sees is a police officer evidently killing a child in cold blood...and the police officer sees him.

Now Reed is the only witness to the vile secret of a man who is trained and legally empowered to kill him, and he's about to learn what it really means to be on the wrong side of the law.

In Gutter Books' third original novel, expect the usual smart writing, breakneck pacing, and all around satisfying storytelling.
