End of the Road. The Rock Bay Mysteries, #0

Something has to be done about her, the voices told him. Having been wrongly dismissed from his long-time managerial position at Qualey Brothers Chocolates, John Shorter attempts to re-start his life by getting a part-time job at a video store, and quickly becomes consumed by the revenge movies he begins to watch on a regular basis. Several months later and half a day away, Charlie Rane arrives in Rock Bay claiming to be reporting on the town's high-school basketball team, the Rock Bay Rebels, who are three games away from making history.
But Charlie's real purpose in being there is much darker in nature. And he's planning to make a little history of his own. The best way he knows how. Perfect for fans of Harlan Coben and James Patterson, End of the Road is a gripping psychological thriller full of ghastly goings-on that will leave you afraid to walk home alone at night. Or anytime. End of the Road is the prequel to the Rock Bay Mystery series.
