Deadly trouble still finds John Tyler.

And Tyler will do anything to stop them and keep his daughter safe.

It’s a collision course, and despite his captors’ best efforts, John Tyler is in the driver’s seat. Can he keep Lexi safe and take down a criminal organization before he becomes another body in the town graveyard?

Awesome!

I loved this adventure. This installment takes readers into North Carolina and does a great job showing that even the most beautiful places have their own problems. Like every state, there’s the good, the bad, and the ugly and this story doesn’t shy away from any of it. The setting felt authentic and added real depth to the action.
It was actually Lexi’s idea to head down to NC for a classic car show. She wants to help get John’s shop more recognized and build its reputation, which makes total sense for her character. Of course, that’s when everything starts going downhill. What begins as a business opportunity quickly turns into something much bigger and more dangerous than anyone expected.
There were a couple of slower chapters early on, but once the story picked up, it really picked up. The tension builds steadily, and before long the pace is fast, intense, and hard to put down. John continues to be steady under pressure, and Lexi’s involvement adds heart and higher emotional stakes to the story.
What I especially liked was how layered the storyline felt. It doesn’t feel neatly wrapped up, and I honestly don’t think this storyline is over yet which only makes me more excited for what’s coming next. I can’t wait to start the next one and see where this journey goes.
Honestly, if this series ever became a mini-series on Netflix or Prime, I think Bob Odenkirk would be a great choice to star in it. After seeing what he did in Nobody, I could really picture him bringing John Tyler’s grit, intensity, and quiet toughness to life on screen.
