About
An all-consuming, suspenseful story of a stay-at-home father with something to prove. You'll never look at a man pushing a stroller the same way again.
Peter Greene spends his days taking care of his toddler, Luke; staying on the right side of The Moms in his local beach town; and hanging out with his surf buddy, Frank. Isolated from his former life in finance, and frustrated by his current "out of work" existence, he worries that if he sits around the house for much longer, his workaholic wife might start to lose patience with him. He has few escapes aside from surfing and the love he has for his son.
But when the body of wealthy Wall Street investor Robert Townsend washes up on shore one morning, nothing about the incident makes sense to Pete, and he's completely bewildered when the death is ruled an accidental drowning. But when he takes his concerns to the police, they ignore him-so he decides to investigate on his own. Sustained only by the unquestioning devotion of his three-year-old sidekick, Pete starts looking into Townsend's eccentric relatives and employer, the ruthless and secretive private equity firm GDR. But has Pete deluded himself with this misguided quest for redemption? Or has he uncovered something sinister enough to risk his life, and even his family?
A Rough Way to Go is a raw, irreverent story that plumbs the depths of masculinity, unemployment, fatherhood, marriage, and modern capitalism-and the struggle to live a purpose driven life. Sam Garonzik graduated from Duke University and worked in finance before he started writing. He lives in New York with his wife and two children. A Rough Way to Go is his first novel. A debut novel of a stay-at-home, out-of-work father obsessed with solving a murder no one else believes took place. "Fleabag meets Gone Girl. A darkly funny, sometimes terrifying noir. Full of surprises. I couldn't put it down."-Jennifer Belle, bestselling author of Going Down "With a sharp voice, unique perspective, and clever mystery at its core, A Rough Way to Go is a fresh take on the domestic suspense genre. I loved it!"-Robyn Harding, bestselling author of The Drowning Woman
