Some men run from their past. Others run out of road.
Former big-leaguer Ryan "Dirt" Simms is content drinking his days away behind a Calgary bar, accompanied only by his loyal Alaskan Malamute, Nesha. That self-imposed exile shatters when a murdered Vancouver cop's widow tracks him down.
Her husband's name was dragged through the mud to kill his pension, and his partner-Ryan's estranged best friend, Kyle-is spiraling toward the edge.
Heading west pulls Ryan straight into a lethal pipeline of high-limit casino cash, ruthless street enforcers, and department corruption that goes all the way to the top. Clearing a dead man's badge means surviving a war he didn't start-and choosing how much of his own soul he's willing to burn.
Gritty, atmospheric, and uncompromising, GAS, FOOD, LODGING is a hard-hitting Pacific Northwest noir thriller perfect for fans of Robert Crais, Dennis Lehane, and Adrian McKinty.
