Terminal

From award-winning author Brian Keene comes a darkly suspenseful tale of crime and the common man — with a surprising jolt of the supernatural . . .

Tommy O'Brien once hoped to leave his run-down industrial hometown. But marriage and fatherhood have kept him running in place, working a job that doesn't even pay the bills. And now he seems fated to stay for the rest of his life. Tommy's just learned he's going to die young- and soon. But he refuses to leave his family with less than nothing-especially now that he has nothing to lose.

Over a couple of beers with his best friends, John and Sherm, Tommy launches a bold scheme to provide for his family's future. And though his plan will spin shockingly out of control, it will throw him together with a child whose touch can heal — and whose ultimate lesson is that there are far worse things than dying.

"A powerful, unique novel with a fascinating plot and characters, and echoes of Stephen King's working-class voice." — Ed Gorman
