The Wasted Pawn

Rodney McCready has a dream. He'll have to lie, cheat, and murder to get it.

Rodney McCready hopes to join a Central Washington crime family. Belonging requires loyalty and ruthlessness-two qualities Rodney has rarely embraced, but now must exemplify. Failing to become a member carries disastrous consequences for Rodney, so he'll stop at nothing to achieve his goal.

To prove his dedication, Rodney commits a crime so heinous that his life will never be the same.

Now, dangerous acquaintances surround him on all sides. Rodney must contend with a malicious enemy, a duplicitous woman, and nosy federal agents. Each threatens to reveal the secret Rodney has sworn to protect.

Can Rodney escape with his life and freedom intact? Or will he be the sacrificial pawn in a treacherous game?
