Fadeaway Joe

audioboek


Sixty-four-year-old Joe has known violence his entire life. For forty years, heā€™s worked as an enforcer for loan shark and close friend Maxie Smith, breaking more than a few bones along the way. When Maxie abruptly fires him, Joe isnā€™t sure where to lay the blameā€”on Maxie, the man he once considered his brother, or on the early-onset Alzheimerā€™s that made Maxie lose faith in him in the first place. To keep his head above water, he begins to operate a food truck thatā€™s barely getting by. Desperate to regain some purpose in his life, Joe makes a life-altering decision: heā€™s going to take down Maxie Smith by any means necessary, once and for all. However, his plan of revenge is sidelined when he meets twenty-two-year-old Paula Jessup, a wise-cracking amateur detective with a few scheming cards up her sleeve, whoā€™s on the run from a trafficking ring sheā€™s been investigating. The two form an unlikely bond: Paula needs some protection and Joe needs a purpose. With the stakes running high and the clock ticking downā€”will this gamble pay off?
