Redemption By Default: A Psychological Thriller

By Kathryn McGrady

Book Overview

"When redemption doesn't come by choice... it comes by default."

Logan Mulroney walked away from his family decades ago, leaving behind a trail of bodies, lies, and a son who never understood why. A hitman by trade and a coward by instinct, Morgan spent his life hiding from the wreckage he created-justifying every job, numbing every regret, and convincing himself there was no going back. Until the past caught up to him. With old enemies closing in and time running out, Logan finds himself trapped in a storm of violence, guilt, and one impossible choice that could change everything.

But this isn't just Logan's story.

Brad Morgan is spiraling. Drowning in gambling debt, with his house teetering on foreclosure and loan sharks circling, he clings to one last fantasy: a trip to Vegas, one big score, and a clean slate. But deep down, he knows the odds aren't in his favor-and neither is time.

Logan never truly left anything behind-only damage. The kind that lingers in locked rooms and silent phone calls. What he didn't say speaks louder now, and his past is no longer content to stay hidden.

As Brad races to untangle the truth and escape the same violent forces that pervaded his father's life, he's forced to confront a question he's avoided his entire life: What kind of man am I?

A father's final act. A son's last shot. And a legacy that refuses to stay buried.

Redemption by Default is a gritty psychological thriller about fractured bloodlines, reluctant legacies, and the haunting cost of survival. It weaves emotional depth with sharp-edged suspense, exploring what happens when the past refuses to stay buried-and how far a man will go to outrun the damage left behind. For readers drawn to dark secrets, flawed fathers, and the thin line between guilt and redemption, this story cuts deep.
