The Reckoning
Tom Keeler’s been on the road for the better part of two days, no sleep, no food, just a relentless bus ride out of West Texas to this small farming town in Ohio.
It’s all because his sister Laura sent him a message. Cryptic in tone, pregnant with meaning. Clearly she wasn’t free to speak her mind. For whatever reason, Laura felt the need to beat around the bush. Which isn’t like her.
Turns out that Keeler came a little too late. The situation is even worse than he’d expected. The problems are deep and profound. The corruption and rot so intense that there’s almost nothing left to salvage.
Not that this is a problem, trouble like this gives Keeler’s life meaning. Even if it’s possible that this time he’s bitten off more than he can chew.

Jack Lively
Jack Lively is the author of the Tom Keeler series of thriller novels.
Jack has worked as a fisherman, an ice cream truck driver, underwater cinematographer, gas station attendant, and outboard engine repairman. The other thing about Jack is that since he grew up without a TV, before the internet, he was always reading. And later on, Jack started writing. All through those long years working odd jobs and traveling around, Jack wrote. He’d write in bars and cafes, on boats and trains and even on long haul bus trips.
Eventually Jack finished a book and figured he might as well see if anyone wanted to read it.
