“He’d always wanted to get the hell out of this place. After getting released from prison two decades earlier, he’d come straight back to the old neighborhood because he had nowhere else to go, then started selling drugs because he didn’t know what else to do.”.....
Two men with life and death problems. One is a good guy, pregnant wife, and a business he runs with his brother. The other guy is a drug dealer being blackmailed. You wouldn’t expect their paths to cross, but oh how fate steps in.
Gary’s wife has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. A fast growing one that may soon take her life. There’s a clinical trial overseas, but Gary needs 200,000 to take Beth there.
Otto the pawn shop owner/drug dealer has a big problem. In order to make it go away he’d like to pay a total stranger 200,000 to make it happen.
When Beth’s plight is written about in the local paper Otto thinks he’s found a way to help himself, hoping the lure of the money will get Gary to do his dirty work.
Is Gary the kind of man who could break the law? For the money to save Beth’s life, how far is he willing to go?
The story was intriguing from the start. You can’t help but feel empathy for this couple who just want to have their baby and live their lives.
Otto, on the other hand. Not exactly your fine upstanding citizen. I had to see where this would go. Will Gary take Otto’s offer? Can they save Beth? Will she have her baby, or will all be lost?
The great pull here is the fact that you can’t be sure which way this story was going to go. So much at stake, so few choices. Right and wrong become a blurry line sometimes.
Suddenly things spiral into different directions. What should have been an obvious assumption escaped this reader. Clever twists, hard to put down.
