When staying ahead of the boss means staying alive…
In 1988, at Miami International Airport, Liam Bradford watches in horror as a plane on the tarmac explodes into a fireball. Frozen in shock, he shields himself from the exploding concourse windows as people run screaming. But Liam can’t move — the voice he heard on a payphone moments before made it clear the bomb was meant for him.
Fearing for his life, Liam escapes to his uncle’s home and retraces the job he’d landed months before at HeartPace Medical. Its founder, Tom Sheer, warned of new government regulations threatening the company. A month later, Tom is nowhere to be found. Then come fraud in the Chicago office, a visit from the FBI — and a mysterious 30-foot hole.
Does someone at HeartPace want him dead? Will cooperating with the FBI get him killed?
Inspired by a real-life incident from the author’s twenties. Characters, locations and businesses have been fictionalized to protect the innocent — and the not-so-innocent.
