Riding Shotgun

You don't have to be special to be chosen. Anyone can do or die. It is an ordinary kind of day and Joe is just an ordinary Joe - Joe Gibson. But when four hired men break into his house and hold Joe, his wife Denise, and his young daughter Emily, at gun point, Joe is going to have to sharpen his wits. The deal is non-negotiable: either Joe, a nobody, hits a local Mob boss, or his daughter dies. Why Joe? Why not? And just to sweeten the deal, they are going to shoot his wife anyway. How else would Joe know they are being serious? Author Andy Rausch is a movie director and it shows in this slickly-paced slice of 'crime noire'. 'Relentless … addictive …. The kind of nightmare you don't want to wake up from' - screenwriter Heywood Gould, Rolling Thunder.
