Up Against Fate: A Novel by Jack McBride

He’d die for what made life worth living. The wealthy McFarlin family of Dyer County, Montana cunningly devised an elaborate white collar criminal conspiracy worth billions. Attorney Patton Shaw, working undercover with the DEA, is in their way and they’ll not hesitate to kill him, like they’ve terrorized, abused, and killed others. Patton Shaw was determined to prove that he, not fate, was master of his destiny. After watching, stunned, as his perfectly choreographed life imploded in front of him, he recklessly set out to reunite, at all costs, with the woman he’d loved and lost. Frustrated by fate, blinded by denial, driven by anger, and tormented by guilt— Patton is unknowingly on a collision course with pure evil. The McFarlins had never encountered a man who wasn’t afraid to die. Patton had never imagined fate would give him one last chance to make things right. Readers will absolutely love this fast paced blend of genres.
