Trigger
One bullet cost him everything
Series: Damien Hill Thrillers
Damien was a young cop in his rookie year, looking to make a name for himself while providing for his pregnant wife, Raquel, and their soon-to-be child. His hours were tough. Overnight shifts, mostly, working the seediest parts of the small town of Hayeston.
But today made the sacrifices worth it. He and Raquel were shopping for baby clothes in a small boutique in the middle of town.
That is until their tranquility was broken by the squawking of his police radio. A nearby traffic stop had turned into a police shooting and all hell was breaking loose. Damien could hear the grumble of angry citizens as they approached the store. Broken glass. Yells for revenge. Before he knew it, they were trapped.
Nothing was the same after that. The mob took more than baby clothes and money. They took his pregnant wife’s life and the future of a happy family with it.
Since that day, Damien has been on the hunt for those who took so much for so little. Somehow, his town had become the epicenter of a global movement, the first match in a firestorm of rage. And yet, there was more going on behind the smoldering buildings and broken lives.
The forces that chose Hayeston to start a war were there for more than vengeance. They needed a distraction. Darker plans were lurking beneath the surface. The closer Damien got to his prey, the more he uncovered their secrets.
What if the battle raging on the streets had nothing to do with his small town? What if it was much bigger than that? And what if it was up to Damien to stop them before his wife and child’s deaths became the first of millions?
