A struggling Hollywood actor falls into a life of crime in this highly anticipated second novel from Hollywood Hustle author and four-time Emmy Award nominee Jon Lindstrom.

Twenty years ago, Jake Ferguson threw his life away. Once a promising Hollywood actor, he crashed and burned the usual way: with coke, booze, and pills. When that path reached its inevitable end, he made a desperate choice, and an innocent woman was killed. Before being convicted and shipped to Folsom Prison, Jake agreed to testify against his own partners-in-crime as the star witness for the prosecution.

Now Jake’s reentering society–coming home to an LA he no longer recognizes and to a life that has lost all meaning. Then he meets Carla, a waitress who understands him better than he expects, and he begins to believe deliverance may be possible after all. Until one night, a murder is committed right in front of him, and Jake knows he’s been set up.

With authorities closing in and more lives on the line, there’s only one way out, for himself and for the people he cares about: revenge.

Fans of Michael Connelly and Harlan Coben won’t be able to resist this unputdownable crime novel from USA Today bestselling author Jon Lindstrom.

A four-time Emmy nominee, Jon Lindstrom can be found in studio movies, independent films, and literally thousands of hours of TV, working with several A-list directors and alongside many of Hollywood’s biggest names. An award-winning filmmaker, Jon’s films have won multiple film festival accolades. His writing has won recognition at the Launchpad Prose Competition twice and several top screenplay competitions. For several years, he was the drummer for the High Lonesome, scoring two hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Jon divides his time between Los Angeles and New York City.

dadweed is an acoustic trio based out of Portland, OR, and they're returning to The Talent Club on Thursday April 9th!

Instructor Bio: Lori began her yoga journey in 2000 as a student at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center. She was drawn to the practice because it helped her to reconnect with her most authentic self while making her stronger and more open, physically and mentally.

After settling in Pittsburgh, PA, she completed her teacher training and began teaching in 2006.

Today, Lori is an E-RYT 500 and teaches Vinyasa-based classes. She is influenced by the philosophy and alignment principles of Anusara Yoga. As a triathlete, Lori has an interest in yoga for athletes and has taught many workshops on the topic. She has a passion for the outdoors and has taught yoga in parks, vineyards, and backyards.
