Matthew Cahill meets Cassie Funderburke in a bar in the seriously misnamed West Texas town of Abundance and wisely turns down her can’t-lose offer. She wants him to accompany her to a double-wide somewhere in the heart of Tornado Valley. That’s where her biological mother has got herself a load of unmarked cash that needs transporting in a hurry. A real hurry.
What could possibly go wrong?
While Matt sees ample reason to back off, ex-con Charles “Venom” Brigner isn’t so picky. So now Matt must rescue the loudmouthed blonde from the clutches of Venom and the Blood-Soaked Godless Nomads, his motorcycle crew of degenerate idiots.
Throw in Mama Hardin and her itchy trigger finger, Taco Treadwell, another graduate of the U.S. penal system, Cassie’s even more overbearing sister Patti, and a sweltering hot trailer home under siege, and Cahill’s got himself a hell of a storm-ravished afternoon ahead of him.
If that’s not enough, he sees that it’s his old nemesis and demon, Mr. Dark, orchestrating the chase and bloody standoff. Welcome to West Texas, motherless bastards!
David Searls has three horror novels published by Warner Books and Samhain Publishing and an upcoming novella, COLD AS HELL, which will be released by DarkFuse in 2015.
