A Week's Worth

Seven days. One phone call. And the bodies started before he'd unpacked.

ALL THE WAY IN, The MacGuffin Series precursor pulls no punches.

Mac doesn't talk much. He watches.

He watches the men who show up to a disaster with clean boots and a speech. He watches who volunteers and who waits to be told. He files them, one by one, before the first handshake is over.

The B team.

Soon-to-be victims. Maybe.

But this time the call that pulled him off the line wasn't about the fire. It was about his mother. A heart attack. Come home.

So he does. California is burning everywhere, ash settling on the windshield the whole drive, and Mac walks into the one house where his instincts were never supposed to matter. Then a neighbor turns up dead. Then someone closer. Then the sheriff stops pretending it's coincidence.

Somebody is killing people around this house. And the only two left standing in it are a man who trusts no one, and the woman who taught him not to.

She knows things. He can see it in the way she doesn't ask questions. He knows things too. Neither of them is talking. Yet.

Then Mac says the only words he'll say all week, and the room goes silent:

Volunteer. Courage. Honor. Loyalty. The backbone of grit.

Whoever is on the wrong side of that line has seven days to work out that he was three moves ahead before he walked through the door. Including her.

A Week's Worth is the first MacGuffin Thriller. 57 short chapters. No speeches. No filler. A working man's thriller for readers who know the real fights happen off camera, and the most dangerous conversation in the book is the one at the kitchen table.

Read it first. Then find out what happens when Mac volunteers for the job nobody wanted, in ALL THE WAY IN.ALL THE WAY IN.

The clock's already running.
