Dexter meets Death Wish in this pulse-pounding, relentlessly fast-paced thriller from the author of Bad Parts.
ONE GUN. SIX BULLETS. NO CHOICE.
Ken Fujima, a downtrodden substitute teacher from suburban Pennsylvania, is trying to rebuild his life when his home is broken into by a pair of West Coast assassins. As part of a revenge scheme, they attack his wheelchair-bound father, forcing Ken to intervene.
During the scuffle Ken picks up a mysterious revolver to defend himself. What he soon learns is that the revolver is a cursed yakuza weapon that will remain fused to his hand until he either dies or kills six other people.
Tormented by this gruesome ultimatum, Ken teams up with his estranged brother, a recovering heroin addict, in hopes of targeting drug dealers responsible for recent overdoses among his high school students.
As hours tick away and other murderous opportunities arise, Ken strives to remain moral, but the haunted revolver has other ideas-if he won't decide who dies, the gun will.
