RIGHTEOUS TRASH by Nick Kolakowski

First sentence…

It was midnight but I was still wide awake in bed when the security lights in the back yard blazed to life.

The Overview:  Beware of Spoilers…

Jake Halligan needs a break.  He’s not making much as a bounty hunter.  If his finanaces don’t improve, he could lose everything.  His land.  His wife.  His daughter.

When Jake’s crazy sister, Frankie unexpectedly returns from Mexico, Jake doesn’t know what to expect.  Frankie has come back to restart her illegal arms business.  Jake wants no part of it.

Frankie is the best shot Jake (or nearly anyone) has ever seen.  Frankie plans to enter and win Crazy Bill’s world famous shooting contest. Frankie knows the grand prize money will give her the startup cash she needs.  There’s just one problem.  She has to win.

Jake has faith in Frankie.  Although the contest draws crack shots from around the country, Frankie is the best.  Even on a bad day, Frankie would be tough to beat.  Jake decides to take a leap of faith.  He goes to a loan shark and borrows $100,000.00.  He’s going to bet it all on Frankie winning.  If she does Jake can pay off the loan plus interest and be flush again. But if Frankie doesn’t win, Jake will lose everything including his life.  The loan shark told him as much.

Soon Jake and Frankie are the targets of rival gangs, corrupt politicians, and Federal Agents.  Oh, and let’s not forget the loan shark who wants his money… or Jake dead.
