A recent parolee finds himself on the wrong side of a prison gang with connections in the outside world, throwing the man's daughter in danger, in Jordan Harper's She Rides Shotgun.
As a contract is put out on both of their heads, the father and daughter go from being virtual strangers to forming an unusual bond.
Uncompromising in its storytelling, Harper's cinematic writing seems pre-built for a movie starring Channing Tatum. It rockets through a number of brutal set pieces to a slam-bang finale in a meth-cooking empire called Slabtown, run by a crooked sheriff.
Tough in its depiction of violence, but compelling story-wise throughout. Recommended for discerning readers.
I got this for my beloved Kindle and read it quickly.
