About CHASING CHINA WHITE …

Derek Weaver's a junkie.

He's also homeless and jobless and into his dealer for way more cash than he can hope to repay. So when he's given an ultimatum by the regional heroin supplier—commit a home invasion and steal enough jewelry to cover that man's debt or take a one-way trip into the Atlantic on a lobster boat—he makes the only possible choice.

But things go sideways and Derek soon finds himself a multiple murderer on the run from both law enforcement and the mob. Trapped in a diner, using his own brother as a hostage to prevent police from storming the building, Derek begins to realize the only way out of a hopeless situation may come from facing down ancient demons he's long ignored.

Praise for CHASING CHINA WHITE …

"This noir tale is impossible to set aside until you follow its spiral all the way down." —Hilary Davidson, Anthony Award–winning author

"This is a strong dose that gets your heart pumping and will make you sweat, but like an addict, you won't want to quit." —Eric Beetner, author of All the Way Down

"As poignant as it is bleak and violent, Allan Leverone's Chasing China White is a powerful, expertly written slice of gritty, bare-bones crime fiction, and just like the addiction it explores, once it has you in its grip, all you want is more. Highly recommended." —Greg F. Gifune, author of Dangerous Boys
