Broken Mind Publications, 2011. — 247 p. — ASIN B00589W0WY.Years ago, Mike Cole was an overweight kid that couldn’t get through the day without being bullied and picked on. School was hell for him and home was worse. Just when young Mike believes he can’t take any more of the abuse, he meets young Jerry. Jerry Garrett is new in town and presents himself at a moment when he is able to come to Mike’s rescue, just in time. It seems that Jerry not only has a knack for standing up for Mike but showing him how to do it for himself as well. Mike and Jerry become fast friends and before long they are the “in-crowd” and Mike begins to enjoy the privileges of being one of the popular kids. All this ends when, during their senior year, the two are involved in a heinous crime that sends Jerry away to prison. Years later, Michael Cole is one of the most successful men in town and has money, a beautiful wife, and an adoring daughter. Everything is perfect…until Jerry Garrett returns wanting what he is rightfully his: Michael’s success. If Michael isn’t willing to hand it over, Jerry is prepared to stop at nothing, including taking his former friend's life, to have it.
