The Kill Riff
Lucas dreamed it every night... the glittering rockshow; ear-punching heavy metal music; gaudily costumed, outrageous performers; an insane mob that storms the stage. Kristen, his beloved daughter, dying, pounded bloody and broken by feet and fists. Kristen, dead-as dead as Lucas' most hidden desires.
In Lucas Ellington's eyes, the mindless crowd of rock n' rollers is blameless. His child was murdered by Whip Hand, the Ultimate Party Band. The main event.
Whip Hand dissolved soon after the arena disaster but the musicians are still alive out there, still alive and kicking.
Not for long. Lucas has sacrified one set of dreams; he will not surrender another. Instead of Kristen, he cradles revenge to his breast.
His ultimate target: Gabriel Stannard. Whip Hand's lead singer.
