Description
The Mob and Minot, water and oil. The two words foreign to one another, until now. When the mob oversteps its bounds, Chase Harper can’t let it go. He won’t let it go. It’s in his DNA, bred into him by his father, bred into him as a retired Army Ranger.
By all accounts, Minot, North Dakota is a small town, especially by east coast standards. But every town has an in, even small towns, a way for the mob to find a little gap, to muscle in and exploit the locals. And they found a way in Minot, preying on victims in need of a helping hand, a temporary fix to get by.
Chase started the day on a high note, accompanying a friend’s son to his first duty station at Minot Air Force Base. A simple escort. Get the young man to his new post and then turn around and come home. Simple. Or so he thought.
A last-minute decision to step into a pawn shop put an end to that. Chase saw what he shouldn’t have seen, what no one was meant to see, beyond the pawn shop’s mobbed-up staff and their client. But they made a mistake, in front of Chase, which ended in him seeing the woman fleeing the owner’s office, escaping to the safety of the parking lot and her children.
Getting involved means drawing the mob’s attention to himself . . . and to her. Chase can handle himself, but can he handle the mob’s pressure on her?
