Lethal Intentions — D.C. Shaftoe

Police inspector, Zachary Marek, has crossed daggers with the wrong villain, Albanian Mafioso, Burim Gjojak. Marked for imprisonment and death by his powerful foe, Zach is ripped from his life and presumed dead. But his brothers, a band of misfits and castaways forged into a family, refuse to give up on him. They mount a daring rescue and return him home to his wife and son. But, after a year away, home is not the sanctuary that Zach had longed for. His son, Gideon, now diagnosed with Autism, is a complete mystery of volcanic meltdowns and violent opposition to change. His wife, Christie, is a stranger. Can Zach embrace the challenges of Autism and win back the heart of his wife? Driven to succeed, Zach embarks on a cross-country journey from Niagara to Wyoming to reconnect with his wife and son, striving to build a new life with them.

However, Gjojak is not satisfied for Zach to return to any life at all. Building a web of betrayal and deceit around Zach, Gjojak sets a lethal snare and soon not only Zach's life is in danger but his wife's and his son's as well. Can Zach and his brothers protect Christie and Gideon or will the battle for life be lost?
