Bad Man Standing by Jonathan Chandler
You look at me like it’s the Devil himself you see standing here. Him you could break a deal with. There is no such hope for you today. None at all.
1993. In the Midlands city of Granford, Wesley Wong, errand boy for a local crime group, jumps on what he sees as his one chance to skip a few rungs. That chance? Making his mark in the miserable chaos that ensues when a secret society hires the gang to rip off an unknown cargo from a military convoy.
With the botched handover turned into a slaughterhouse scene, infighting and suspicions grip the survivors. What Wesley hasn’t anticipated is the appearance of Felix Dean. A sinister spook who, once activated, will stop at nothing to track down the missing cargo.
