Bad luck comes in threes: 1 - You're dying… 2 - You're being framed for murder… 3 - Everything you ever believed is a lie… Half Italian, half Jew, all bulldog; Teo Borelli is at the top of his game. He's overcome horrific circumstances to build a successful business and a happy life with his loving fiancé. He is living the dream until a single word from his doctor shatters his world: "Terminal". His bright future gone, the pains of his past reawaken long dormant emotions – rage, hatred, loneliness, profound disappointment; all the result of his mother Eden's incomprehensibly selfish decision to end her life. With his time short, he embarks on a pilgrimage to reconcile Eden's decades-old self-immolation but along the way he uncovers a web of lies surrounding her death. A cadre of small-town yokels, whose intertwined lives obscure a sordid history, morph his simple quest for closure into a life and death struggle. Deceit, blackmail, sex and greed drive events that turn deadly in rapid-fire succession as Teo struggles to stay alive and out of jail long enough to find a sibling who shouldn't exist and a truth that's as elusive as his salvation.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
