A rising Hollywood star falls from grace and into a life of crime in this highly anticipated second novel from Hollywood Hustle author and four-time Emmy Award nominee Jon Lindstrom.
Twenty years ago, Jake Ferguson threw his life away. Once a promising Hollywood actor, he crashed and burned the usual way: with coke, booze, and pills. When that path reached its inevitable end, he made a desperate choice and an innocent woman was killed. Before being convicted and shipped to Folsom Prison, Jake agreed to testify as the star witness for the prosecution.
Now he's coming home-to an LA he no longer recognizes and to a life that has lost all meaning. Then Jake meets Carla, a waitress who understands him better than he expects, and he begins to believe deliverance may be possible after all. Until one night, a murder is committed right in front of him and Jake, innocent but left red-handed at the scene of the crime, knows he's been set up.
With authorities closing in and more lives on the line, there's only one way out, for himself and the people he cares about: revenge. A four-time Emmy nominee, Jon Lindstrom can be found in studio movies, independent films and literally thousands of hours of TV, working with several A-list directors and alongside many of Hollywood's biggest names. An award-winning filmmaker, Jon's films have won multiple film festival accolades. His writing has won recognition at the Launchpad Prose Competition twice and several top screenplay competitions. For several years, he was the drummer for The High Lonesome, scoring two hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Jon divides his time between Los Angeles and New York City.
