Last Day — Richard La Plante

A near-fatal mistake during the attempted bust by the cops leaves a bullet lodged in the right temporal lobe of Charlie's brain. Operating to remove it would likely kill Charlie. Living with it will change him forever. Two men linked forever by a tangle of lies and twisted loyalties. Two men who could not be more dissimilar -- or more the same. When they meet again, for one it will be the Last Day.
