2018 New Apple Book Awards: SUSPENSE / THRILLER

SOLO MEDALIST WINNER

Blackbird Road

by James L. Weaver

With his wedding day fast approaching, ex-mob enforcer Jake Caldwell decides to take one more job before a much needed vacation. But in a matter of days, his client is assassinated and her six-year-old son kidnapped.
With just a few clues, Jake calls on old friends to track down the person responsible. Only this time his fiancée Maggie, desperate for Jake to leave his violent history behind, can’t guarantee she’ll be there when, or if, he comes home.
But Jake can’t turn his back on those who need him. It’s in his blood.
A perilous plot of lies and secrets unfolds, and Jake encounters criminals more brutal than ever. And when a threat to thousands of innocent lives is uncovered, Jake dives back into his past, requesting favors from some unsavory contacts.
Jake must stay one step ahead of the bad guys if he’s to have any future at all.
