Prologue
Billy hated contests, especially in-store raffles or scratch and win tickets.
When your day starts with a close friend stopping by and trying to kill you, you know the rest of your week could only get better. Unfortunately, for Jacob, that’s not the case.
Jacob’s hatred had turned into a hard thing, a rock in his heart he couldn’t put down. It weighed on him, every minute of every day, and Clyde was there to remind him of the mistake he made, his deal. But what if the deal he made wasn’t what he thought it was? What if everything he knew to be true was all a lie? Around him, Death stalks and friends will die. His world soon would be coming apart, unravelling.
Matt had only just begun his career as a detective, but already he had a trench coat and an impossible case. Along the path, he would fall in love and realize that the world was far different than he knew.
When Mr. White and The Judge meet at the crossroads, Jacob and Matt could lose everything.
