One of the most riveting first chapters I have read in some time.The pacing is spectacular and gets progressively faster as the reader nears the finale. An unqualified recommendation.

A smashing, rip-roaring success.

Josh Michaels is worth more dead than alive. He just doesn't know it yet. He has no idea why someone would try to kill him, but clearly that's exactly what happened. When an SUM forced Josh's car off the road and into the river, it might have been an accident. But when Josh looked up at the road, expecting to see the SUV's driver rushing to help him, all he,saw was the driver watching him calmly... then giving him a "thumbs-down" sign. That was merely the first attempt on Josh's life, all of them designed to look like accidents, and all of them very nearly fatal. With his time--and maybe his luck--running out and no one willing to believe him, Josh had better figure out who wants him dead and why... before it's too late.
