The Big Wheel Scott Archer Jones

Publisher Marketing: Robko Zlata is sprinting across America, on the run with a call girl-his ex-wife-on a hot red motorcycle. Robko is a thief, and he has stolen the wrong thing, a device that can guarantee immortality. His wrathful target, a corrupt billionaire politician, wants the world's greatest piece of technology back. Robko's new worst enemy unleashes his fortune and corporate security in unrelenting pursuit. "Golden Boy" Thomas Steward is asked to follow the money and uncover the thief with massive illegal surveillance. Thomas, morphing into his prey, becomes the most dangerous of hunters. But Thomas could die too. A gang of ex-mercenaries, good at killing, torture, and rape, are hot on the heels of Robko and Thomas. The thugs are ready to murder anyone who knows about the immortality device. Throw in the underground world of thieves and billionaires, drugs and punk clubs, five-star hotels and cheap motels, and Robko and Thomas are in for one hell of a crash. As in the best of plots, nothing here is as it seems. Scott Jones is always fun to read, and The Big Wheel is engrossing, unpredictable, and fast-paced, a twenty-first century morality play. So grab yourself a drink, settle into your easy chair, open the book, and begin. You're home for the evening. You won't stop until it's over. John Dufresne, No Regrets, Coyote
