Louisville community college professor Jared Longley had grown comfortable with his life and was excited to start a new chapter in love. But a regular guy in everyday America getting to keep his seemingly mundane life is dependent upon the odds working as they normally do. Odds are that one won’t become intertwined with dangerous mobsters when performing, routine, everyday tasks. But it does happen. Jared discovers what happens when the odds work against him and dark forces work to rob him of the life he took for granted.
As he hides for his life from these mobsters, Jared must rely upon unlikely sources of assistance to scrap to get his life back. He must grapple with who gets hurt and what gets lost along the way to save one’s self…even if one deserves to be saved. The first volume of the crime novel series The Ville looks at the fight that one man must put up to maintain an average American life and the toll that comes from this fight.
