Even a Pandemic Can't Stop Love and Murder: Volume 1: Break the Bank
With the unexpected twists and turns of a thriller, Even a Pandemic Can't Stop Love and Murder takes a new approach to the genre.
It is 2025. Nearly four years into the Pandemic Era, construction subcontractor Alby wakes up in an Iraqi hospital to find two shadowy men telling him he must get back to the U.S. and disappear-now. Because if he is ever found, terrorists will get their revenge for what he did. In a haze of pain and morphine, he chooses South Jersey, where the irritating presence of his sister Dorothy along with his favorite nephew Stephen are the only things about his new life that resemble any part of his past.
Believing he is safely hidden in his cave-like garage apartment, he supports himself on under-the-table fix-it work while wrestling with nightmares of what happened in Iraq. But his minimal existence is about to be upended, to disastrous effect.
Within the first twenty-four hours of this one-week, fast-paced thriller, Alby is involved in a major robbery, meets a dancer with a secret past and crosses paths with a psychotically polite hitman named Jagger. Something very valuable has been taken from a mob-run bank, and now, everyone is after Alby. Meanwhile, the still-present Pandemic only amplifies the constant presence of danger. Even a Pandemic Can't Stop Love and Murder, Vol. 1: Break the Bank can't stop the mayhem and romance that grows all around a man who just wants to do his job and be left alone.
Break the Bank-volume 1 of 3-is based on a true story. Told to the author by his father, it is the true story of a mob bank getting ripped off and the ensuing violent consequences.
