If you crave stories with high stakes, moral complexity, and a relentless pace, you won't be able to put down Chronicle of The Jericho Road.The Jericho Road is not a place; it's a graveyard of secrets. On this desolate seven-mile stretch of asphalt, a man is beaten, stripped, and left for dead. His fate now rests in the hands of the three souls who find him.
A priest, haunted by a confession he should never have heard, recognizes a ring on the victim's hand and presses his foot to the accelerator. A rising politician, seeing the getaway car of a powerful ally, calculates the man's life as an acceptable loss and drives on.
Then comes Sam. A disgraced paramedic driving a long-haul rig to outrun his own failures. He lives by one rule: don't get involved. But the flicker of life in the ditch pulls at the ghost of the oath he once took. He stops.
In saving the stranger, Sam doesn't just perform a good deed; he inherits a death sentence. The man he rescued carries a secret surgically embedded beneath his skin, a truth that could shatter the city's corrupt establishment. The silent, efficient killers who left him for dead are coming back to finish the job, and now Sam, the only man who dared to intervene, is their primary target.
A disgraced paramedic against a city built on lies. In a world where good men look away, what hope does the one who stopped have of surviving the night?
