Résumé
The Angels Of Valley Junction Big Lou is a man built for the shadows of St. Louis. He is a towering engine of malice who solves every problem with a heavy fist, cold stare or a bullet. But when a hit on a star witness in Texas goes sideways, Lou finds himself stranded in the last place a mobster belongs: Valley Junction, Missouri, a backwards forgotten pocket of the Ozark Mountains. A Collision of Two WorldsIn Valley Junction, Lou's standard operating procedure fails him.
When he screams, the locals smile. When he threatens, they offer him a slice of peach cobbler. Even Toughy, the town's wiry, ancient mechanic, isn't moved by Lou's explosive temper, dismissively chuckling at the "kiniption fit" of a man twice his size. While Lou waits for car parts that seem to be traveling by mule, he begins to notice the community's magnetic charm and the impossible. The MiraclesWounds that heal overnight, hunting animals from a different continent, townfolk living well beyond normal lifespans and a peace so thick it feels like a physical presence.
The Simple LifeBetween the fishing trips and Sunday picnics, the concrete-hardened killer finds the city grime washing off his soul. Lou finds more than just sanctuary when Maggie, a young widow whose quiet strength does what no rival mobster could, it breaks him open. For the first time, the Mafia giant understands love. He is a man being reborn, but the ghosts of his past are fast learners. The Angelic SecretThe locals claim they aren't alone in Valley Junction, and after experiencing the evidence on several occasions, Lou is starting to believe them.
The Debt Comes DueThe "real world" doesn't let go so easily. Back in St. Louis, Lou's boss is facing the noose, and the witness, now in a wheelchair, must be silenced. Driven by old loyalties, Lou returns to the city to finish the job. But at the moment of the kill, a blinding, miraculous intervention shatters his resolve, leaving him with one singular mission, to get back to Valley Junction. The Final StandWith the FBI closing in from one side and a St Louis hitman from the other, Valley Junction is no longer just a hideout, it's become a battlefield where the divine meets the desperate."Imagine Goodfellas crashing into The Andy Griffith Show, narrated by the sharp wit of Mark Twain.
A story of big city crime, hillbilly charm, and the impossible grace found in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri."
