Table of Contents

An Ex-Cop, A Mobster, A Beautiful Woman...
Long Branch, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove. The Jersey Shore ain't what it used to be, but ex-state trooper Harry Rane still calls it home. After his wife's death, Harry got careless, got shot, and he left the force. He's a changed man, leads a quiet life, except when it comes to helping his friends...

Some Triangles Were Made To Be Broken...
Now an old buddy of Harry's wants a big favor. He owes $50,000 to a Jersey crime boss and needs Harry to get him more time to repay the loan. That sounds like a plan...except for the green-eyed, redheaded complication. The mobster's married to a gorgeous lady who once fell hard for Harry. And history is about to repeat itself.

By A Bullet.
Trying to help his friend pay off his debt but inexorably drawn to the girl, soon Harry is between a rock and a hard place. His chances of getting up and staying alive look to be about a million to one....

"Wallace Stroby writes descriptive prose as shiny and sharp as a surgical instrument."
-Chicago Tribune

"Original and exciting...Stroby's dazzling debut manages to wake us up like the slap of a wave on the New Jersey shore."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
