Fighting Back: a Novel Charles Alverson 1st edition

A MAN PUSHED TO HIS BREAKING POINT?

When neighborhood thug Charlie Rice comes into Harry Caster's new bar with an ultimatum - give up half the bar or pay the price - Harry wants to give in. Has to give in.

After all, Rice has deep ties to Abe Montera, a local crime boss with a violent reputation. And Rice's own volatile reputation precedes him.

But with a wife and two children at home - and every last dollar invested into the fledgling bar - Harry has no choice.

He has to fight back.

Enlisting the help of a war veteran turned PI, Caster tells Rice that he won't give in under any circumstances. Rice responds by blowing up Caster's car.

And with the stakes now elevated far beyond what either expected, both will soon discover just how far a man must go to protect the ones he loves.
