One False Move - 2nd Edition by Alex Kava (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

"A killer read." --The Lincoln Star Journal

One fatal mistake, and there's no turning back.

Melanie Starks and her seventeen-year-old son, Charlie, have been running one con job or another for as long as she can remember. Worried that Charlie is starting to enjoy it, Melanie is ready to start over. Then her brother, Jared, reappears in her life.

Released on a technicality, Jared Barnett is just out of prison and feeling invincible. He has the perfect plan to rob a local bank, but he needs Melanie and Charlie's help. Feeling she owes her brother, Melanie agrees.

Within seconds, shots are fired. Jared and Charlie race out of the bank with no money, leaving four people dead. When they refuse to tell Melanie what happened in those few desperate moments, she realizes her brother and her son have formed a silent bond.

Now they're on the run, and there's nothing to lose.

"Kava delivers a fast, dark, nail-biter with
an extra special shocker saved for last." --Portsmouth Herald
