Teaser By Steven P. Ross
Jeremiah Chase, while more than a little tipsy, witnesses a killing by someone he knew, someone he grew up with, and who may have seen him while committing the crime. He later learns that the victim was also a childhood acquaintance.
Fearing he may be the next target, as well as being a possible suspect himself, he stumbles upon a criminal cabal involved in blackmail, money laundering, murder, and even influencing the outcome of a new venue of gambling.
In addition to avoiding a persistent police detective, Jeremiah’s live-in girlfriend threatens to leave him. He also encounters a neighborhood attorney whose past actions caused him considerable emotional turmoil.
Jeremiah is forced to confront his fears and biases when this neighbor comes to his defense, likely saving his life. Consequently, she herself may die unless he acts. His decision would change his life in ways he never imagined.
