The Big Tilt

An old flame in danger. A friend framed. A Mafia vow to see him buried. To save the people he loves, O'Keefe must walk into the past he never escaped. A year after exposing a violent criminal ring, Peter O'Keefe is back in his hometown, trying to build a steadier life for himself and his daughter. O'Keefe's closest friend, attorney Mike Harrigan, is arrested and publicly humiliated. The charges are flimsy, the timing is convenient, and the forces behind the case are anything but innocent. Then comes the worst blow of all: the Mafia boss O'Keefe crossed in the desert left one final order before he died—kill O'Keefe. Complicating everything is a woman from O'Keefe's past—someone he once cared for—whose pursuit of justice for a long-ago crime pulls him into danger he can't ignore. With a bounty on his head and a friend's freedom on the line, O'Keefe must navigate a maze of corrupt officials, criminal financiers, and men who hide their brutality behind polished offices. Every step closer to the truth pulls him deeper into the city's underworld—and further from the fragile life he's built for his daughter. As the clock runs down and the danger rises, O'Keefe must choose whether justice is worth the cost…even if that cost is everything he has left. Meet Peter O'Keefe—scarred, relentless, and a hero for our times. Continue the Peter O'Keefe Crime Series with The Big Tilt.
