TOMMY GEE
<\/em><\/h3>\nTommy shouted, \u201cI\u2019m out of here!\u201d and ran towards his Jeep. He started the engine, stalled it, started it again, and began to drive away.<\/em>
Ruth shouted, \u201cListen, Sandi, it\u2019s not what it looks like.\u201d<\/em>
But Sandi wasn\u2019t listening. She had already dived back into her car and was chasing after Tommy. Ruth jumped in front of her, still trying to explain it was all a trick. Sandi ran her down and left her lying face down on the ground, groaning and clutching a broken ankle.<\/em>
Tommy was crunching the gears and trying to get out of second. It seemed like he\u2019d suddenly forgotten how to drive. Sandi caught him almost immediately. As they neared the gate, she rammed the back of the Jeep and was surprised as it tipped over and flipped onto its roof. She jumped from her car and ran to the other vehicle. Tommy was hanging upside down, held fast by his seatbelt. Flames began to leap from the back of the vehicle. \u201cChrist, get me out of here,\u201d he screamed.<\/em>
Sandi stared at him. \u201cWhere\u2019s the money?\u201d<\/em>
\u201cIt\u2019s in a car in the scrap yard. Get me out of here before this bloody thing explodes.\u201d<\/em>
\u201cWhat car?\u201d<\/em>
\u201cLook, help me get out and I\u2019ll tell you.\u201d<\/em>
\u201cYou\u2019ll tell me first, you arsehole. You and that bitch back there have been double-crossing everyone.\u201d<\/em>
\u201cIt was nothing personal, honest. It was just to get the mob off our backs.\u201d Tommy glanced behind him. \u201cJust help me out of here and I\u2019ll tell you where the money is. For Christ\u2019s sake cut me free or something.\u201d<\/em>
\u201cSandi crossed her arms and stared at him. \u201cYou know what? You can fucking burn for all I care.\u201d<\/em>
The flames were spreading and Tommy looked behind him again in desperation. \u201cYeah, okay, the money\u2019s in a blue Mercedes.\u201d<\/em>
\u201cNo it\u2019s not, you lying scum. I already know you moved it from there. You and your scheming girlfriend back there. Planning to fuck off to Toronto, were you?\u201d<\/em>
Tommy winced as the flames grew. \u201cOkay, okay, it\u2019s in the red Nissan right next to the fence where I was parked. You can get into the scrap yard through the gate ten metres further up. Now please get me out of here.\u201d<\/em>
Sandi grinned at him.<\/em>
\u201cI promise, I\u2019m telling the truth this time. For God\u2019s sake get me out. I\u2019m going to burn to death.\u201d<\/em>
\u201cThat\u2019s right, mister. You\u2019re going to burn to death. Goodbye.\u201d Sandi turned and walked away.<\/em>
Tommy screamed. \u201cHey. No. For Christ\u2019s sake no. Come back. I\u2019m telling the truth. I didn\u2019t want anyone to get hurt. I don\u2019t know you, why would I hurt you? This was all Ruth\u2019s idea, not mine. Please!\u201d<\/em>
\u201cYeah, that\u2019s what I figured,\u201d Sandi muttered. She walked back a few steps, reached into her car, pulled out her baseball bat, and kept walking. <\/em><\/p>\nBook cover design by Bruno Cavellec, Copyright \u00a9 Bruno Cavellec 2018.

Tommy Gee\u2019s decision to spend a long weekend visiting his mother in King\u2019s Lynn, on England\u2019s east coast, leaves behind eight dead bodies and a suicide. Not that they were all Tommy\u2019s fault, but he seems to be a magnet for chaos and the unpredictable. Add to the mix, Tommy\u2019s sultry pickpocket sister and his gangly deranged half-brother, and you have the recipe for a frenzied few days. When two Romanian mafia bosses are stirred into the melting pot, along with a sexy bank employee with a cunning plan, things are likely to move from complicated to dangerous before you can turn the page.<\/p>\n
