Shark's Instinct — Bethany Maines

Where the criminals are savage, the stakes are high and even the suburbs hide secrets that can kill.

Fresh out of prison and fresh out of luck, twenty-six-year-old Shark wants back into The Organization. But when Geier, the mob boss with a cruel sense of humor, sends Shark to the suburbs to find out who's been skimming his take, Shark realizes he's going to need more than his gun and an attitude to succeed. With the clock ticking, Shark accepts the help of the mysterious teenage fixer, Peregrine Hays, and embarks on a scheme that could line his pockets, land him the girl and cement his reputation with the gang -- if he makes it out alive.
