Scratch the Surface (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798348472443)

Scratch the Surface is the first book in the action-packed Deuce Walsh thriller trilogy, about a former mafia collector.

Deuce Walsh is a former gangster trying to keep his past hidden in the middle of nowhere Midwest. Seven years ago, his colleagues-The Chianti Brothers-made a power play and left him for dead. He survived, but had to leave everything behind and start from scratch with a new identity.

But when his brother-in-law Colm, a degenerate gambler and wannabe wiseguy, gets himself into trouble, Deuce is brought back into the life of crime and finds himself helping Colm pay off a debt to the very people who tried to have him killed in the first place.
