2000 Miles to Open Road

 

With a murder indictment hanging over his head, a pissed-off cop on his tail, and a unknown woman diving into his car during a shootout at the Carson City sewage plant, Hanford Turnbull has just one goal...

 

     To prove his innocence.  Not to the prosecutors or the cops, but to his brother.  But Hanford is halfway across the country and between Nevada and Texas is a pile of trouble that Hal can't seem to avoid.

     From stealing $20,000 to a DVD of a murder, from a low-rent casino in Vegas to a church filled with self-flagellant priests, Hal simply can't catch a break.

     And during it all, Hal wavers.  He wants to prove to his brother--the good brother--that he isn't a killer.  But as situations--and bodies--pile up, Hal thinks less of his brother than his girlfriend and a safe, new life in Mexico.

     In a drive-in movie parking lot, he and his girlfriend and brother finally are forced to face both Hal's haunting demons and the man who created the DVD of murder, and who wants his property back.

 

A 2000 mile journey that could lead to redemption and could just as easily get him killed.  And yet there is no way Hal Turnbull can avoid driving those miles.
