The Bridge Burners (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781450570619)

This third release by Jacob Ray will have you on the edge of your seat for hours! In this speedy thriller, Ray tells the story of a kleptomaniac on the run who steals his way through life while living in constant fear. Christian Barnes rips off a rehab clinic Staff before fleeing to Mendocino, California. He hides in a cabin in the woods he built and retained as a thief's lair. He survives by stealing and conning both locals and tourists out of everything he can. While hiding out he rediscovers a carport he dug out while on drugs. He resumes his project, digging so far he hits rock. He digs deeper still until he finds a cave the size of a small cathedral. He destroys the cabin and firepit and moves everything into the cave. His descent deeper into the earth is reflective of his downward spiraling psychosis, as he aims higher with his craft of conning by stealing the ultimate prize! This book contains tons of passages about surfing and the ocean but they are second to the main story about an addiction to instant gratification that goes unchecked! Christian slowly becomes Freud's Id in human form, bent only on instant satisfaction of every wish and desire. Ray takes us deep into the remorseless mind of this master thief, as the pages ignite!! The Bridge Burners is a must read for any fan of character driven fiction. Read the follow-up to this title "PiLL-Billies" to hear the story of Tori Barnes, Christian's sister as she struggles with her own addictions. This book is dedicated to Stephen King.
