Restitution

John A. Daly

Sinossi

Few things are more dangerous than an unpaid debt."John Daly has a magical writing style, and his books keep you up late at night turning pages." - Dana Perino, former White House Press Secretary"Restitution offers hard-hitting action spearheaded by a badass protagonist who talks the talk and walks the walk in a brutal story of surviving an unforgiving territory… Written in the vein of old-school stories of revenge, familial bonds, and relentless action, Restitution is a definite must-read." - Kashif Hussain, Best Thriller Books"I think what impresses me the most about John Daly as a writer is his range. Restitution brings Sean Coleman fans the series’ traditional strong sense of setting and mood, and clipped, realistic dialogue, and adds a refreshing, subtle sense of heart and hope amidst all the Vegas grit and Western landscapes of the Nevada desert." - Jim Geraghty, senior political correspondent of National Review and author of the Dangerous Clique thriller seriesLife's gotten better for hard-edged security guard, Sean Coleman. With personal affairs in order and relationships rekindled, he travels to Las Vegas to help celebrate his buddy's last days as a bachelor.

There, he must fight to stay alive against a well-armed group of men whose bloodlust and greed won't stop them from getting what they're after.
