Straight Shot by Jack Lively

After surviving combat tours in the Middle East, Tom Keeler’s in town for less than an hour and three men try to kill him. Nice place, nice try.

He could just walk away, get back on the train and take it from there. But Keeler is drawn back to Alencourt. Perhaps it’s the beautiful policewoman, Cecile Nazari, who tells Keeler that the attack was a case of mistaken identity. Maybe, it’s the fact that the people who attacked him might be the same people who left his French cousin in a wheelchair.

Or maybe it’s the connection Keeler finds between these attacks and reports of asylum seeking girls from the Middle East going missing in the area.

Whatever the reason, Keeler becomes interested in what’s going on, which isn’t great news for the bad people preying on the weak and defenseless.

They thought they could get away with murder, but they never counted on coming up against Keeler.
