Joy and Pain (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781643882116)

Despair is a dangerous thing.

At Brine County Mall, three disgruntled workers and the customers they despise face life-threatening consequences when they turn against each other. Perry Miller recently graduated from college and has zero prospects in life: no career, no love life, and no hope. His part-time job at the mall is the bane of his existence. The mall is run by two brothers; one has brains, the other brute. Both are extremely dangerous.

One day Perry considers killing a troublesome customer. With his anger mounting, he befriends two other workers who share his frustration. That's where the real trouble begins in this psychological thriller.
