Roy Cady gets diagnosed with a terminal illness but he is still at work for his sleazebag employer doing "collections" and other jobs. Roy gets the idea that his employer wants him dead when he sends him on a job but tells him not to take a gun. Roy walks into a trap that turns into a bloodbath but he walks out with the only other survivor, a young hooker named Rocky. They go on the run together after stopping off to pick up Rocky's younger sister. They know they are in danger and need to stay smart but are also in need of money.
Roy is attracted to Rocky but she is basically just a kid so he works harder to protect her than anything else. He knows he is short for the world so tried to make a nest egg by blackmailing his former employer.
This is a dark story but still has elements of hope. I picked this up off our display for people who like "True Detective." The author wrote and produced the show and this book has the same vibe.
