** spoiler alert ** This is a shitty bit! Okay, seriously - you toss in a sex change? The concept of the story was easy enough to get into...good guy down on his luck has an opportunity to make a fortune except he will pay a price if caught. He is buddies with a mafia leader. There are mercs. I'm with ya on all this. Then, the villain is an old dude who used to be a girl and is pissed that a girl he liked chose another man? Thus causing him to kill off the family? Ah, okay. The end was so abrupt, I thought I accidentally read ahead. Tony - just like that eh? Where is Clayton? 1 of 5 stars. From the Publisher:
Richard Kepperman was on top of his game until blowing the whistle on his high powered Atlanta accounting firm. Black balled from the financial arena, on the verge of bankruptcy, he returns to his roots in coastal Georgia to be near his aging grandfather, Clayton. Frustrated and underemployed, he is an easy mark when approached by a stranger who offers to bet ten million dollars that he can capture Richard within a span of thirty days. In return, Richard will be required to risk all that he holds dear.
Given a twenty four hour head start, Richard embarks on an odyssey that will forever change the way he views love, life, friendship and the power of money. On the run, he encounters forces that threaten to do irreparable damage to his sanity and rip his family to shreds. Fighting to stay alive, Richard uncovers the startling truth about the deaths of his parents and learns that the real power behind the stranger is a man who harbors a sixty year old grudge against Clayton and is willing to commit unspeakable atrocities to satisfy his desire for revenge.
