Unfortunately, the billionaire not only had money but big problems with his family that will lead right to Tommy.

The billionaire’s family consists of a trophy wife and an estranged son who fancies himself a drug kingpin. Both are determined to inherit the money even at the cost of violence and lives. Tommy, who had served two tours in Iraq, is prepared for trouble, but he can’t stop the coming onslaught of violence that will leave death in its wake in Under Tower Peak by Bart Paul. This western thriller is told in an authentic voice as Tommy narrates the story that unfolds quickly and feels as if at any moment it could explode into violence.
