No Exit for a Dead Man
by E. L. Chase · High Velocity Crime series
Tommy steals a flash drive holding a crime boss's whole empire. Turning it over to the FBI is the easy part. Staying alive in witness protection is harder.
About the book
A desperate crook in debt takes Marcus Kane’s flash drive and becomes a marked man. Even under a new name he cannot outrun Kane’s people, a vengeful crew, or Lena, whose notes suggest she is still playing her game.
The feel of the read
The book follows Tommy through two very different settings: the criminal world he’s trying to expose, and the witness-protection life he’s given afterward, which turns out to be its own kind of trap. That structural split, before and after the flash drive, gives the book two distinct halves rather than one continuous chase.
Who this book is for
A fit for readers who like a redemption arc that costs the protagonist something real, and who enjoy witness-protection and can’t-escape-the-past plots specifically.
