His childhood memory invades the living room, and he hears gunshots, lots of them. He sees holes in people, blood, faces of the little girls turning from laughing to screaming. Rae’s seductive curves shattered. Ice’s young shoulders, full of potential, smashed to pieces. Fade’s determination all for nothing, blown away by machine-gun fire that rips apart the world she had been desperately holding together without him. Deuce and Jiggy, lying still in death, forever part of the family they found. His family, all dead.
He knows he can’t leave. The tunnel is collapsing, the light from it too far away to see now. His life with Liz feels like it is dying, bleeding out like the man he once murdered. Maybe my life is the one I owe.
An icy sadness flows from the thought and down his spine. As it spreads through him, it blends with a new feeling, rage.
This is an extract from my latest book, Killing Redemption. I hope you like it! Right now there is a Goodreads competition running to win a copy - check it out. (URL) Thanks for your support!

He thinks for a moment that she is going to step forward and hug him, but then something crosses her face, and she doesn’t. Once they were very close, like two sides of the same coin, but now a gulf stretches between them, a chasm of different circumstances and life choices. For the last several years, they have been living very different lives. The distance has never felt further than in this moment when he wants to connect with her, but she holds back.
- Killing Redemption.

Joel's comment:
A significant theme of this book is the hard choices that stretch a young man between loyalty to those he loves, and vision of what he believes is right. The same tension exists in many of our lives, and I'll be the first to admit I don't always make the right choice.
