On Lonesome Roads

A car bomb meant to kill him. A bargain that could finish the job.

To protect his daughter, O'Keefe must hunt the man who wants him dead—and walk straight into the lion's den.

The explosion should have killed Peter O'Keefe. Instead, it left him burned, shaken, and hunted—his life reduced to a patchwork of pain, suspicion, and unanswered questions. The police suspect the Mafia. The media agrees. But O'Keefe senses something colder behind the blast, something that doesn't fit the story he's being fed.

As he struggles to recover, danger spills outward. His ex-wife keeps their daughter under armed guard. Friends pull back. And George Novak saddles him with Karma, a retired bomb-sniffing police dog. O'Keefe protests, but the animal doesn't listen any more than Novak ever has. Before long, Karma is simply there—padding beside him as he digs for answers no one else is willing to touch.

To shield the people he loves, O'Keefe plunges into a criminal underworld where every ally has an angle and every negotiation cuts deeper than the last. Following the trail means inching closer to a powerful circle of enemies—and closer to the terrible truth about who wanted him dead.

The closer he gets, the more isolated he becomes, until the hunt consumes everything. Restoring his life may require sacrificing the last pieces of it.

Meet Peter O'Keefe—scarred, relentless, and a hero for our times.
