The Debt Collector: A Crime Novella - Paperback

by Tj McKeon (Author)

Bill Tucker has seen better days ... if he ever had any.
Once a dock worker, now an unemployed drunk, he drifts through life on the edge of despair. His bulk and his bruiser's face make people step aside. But it's the loneliness that really gets him down and he stopped hoping for anything more a long time ago.
When a chance encounter with two shady characters lands him work as the hired muscle for a loan shark, Bill discovers something unexpected - purpose. The money's good. The company's better. For the first time in years, his peers look at him with something like respect.
But with every door he knocks on, every threat he delivers, Bill feels the weight of his own debts - failure, regrets, and the quiet despair of a life unfulfilled.
The Debt Collector is a raw, unflinching story of loneliness, redemption and the blurred line between right and wrong. Bill Tucker may be a broken man, but he's proof that even the lost can still search for something worth saving.
Sometimes, it takes walking in the dark to see the light.
