Nick Mason has already spent five years inside a maximum security prison when an offer comes that will grant his release twenty years early. He accepts---but the deal comes with a terrible price. Now, back on the streets, Nick Mason has a new house, a new car, money to burn, and a beautiful roommate. He's returned to society, but he's still a prisoner. Whenever his cell phone rings, day or night, Nick must answer it and follow whatever order he is given. It's the deal he made with Darius Cole, a criminal mastermind serving a double-life term who runs an empire from his prison cell.Forced to commit increasingly more dangerous crimes, hunted by the relentless detective who put him behind bars and who is obsessed with putting him back, and desperate to go straight and rebuild his life with his daughter and ex-wife, Nick will ultimately have to risk everything---his family, his sanity, and even his life---to finally break free.From Steve Hamilton, the critically acclaimed, award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of the Alex McKnight series and The Lock Artist, The Second Life of Nick Mason introduces an unforgettable new character, a man who will walk out of prison and into a harrowing double life where every time his phone rings, it will cost him another piece of his soul.

On a cold, miserable night in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a night that wouldn’t feel so unusual if it wasn’t the Fourth of July, an antique wooden boat runs full-speed into a line of old railroad pilings in the shallow waters of Waishkey Bay. When Alex McKnight helps rescue the passengers, he finds three men. The driver is out cold, the other two are dazed but conscious. When they’re all finally back on dry land and sent away in an ambulance, Alex figures he’ll never see them again. He couldn’t be more wrong. It’s not enough that Natalie Reynaud, the woman who has become the center of his life, is five hundred miles away, working a dangerous undercover operation in Toronto. Now Alex has even more problems when the men from the boat get tangled up with his best friend, Vinnie. It’s all Alex can do to keep Vinnie from killing them or being killed by them. With Vinnie in danger on one side of the border, and Natalie in just as much danger on the other, what comes next will be the absolute darkest hour of Alex’s life, beyond anything he’s ever faced before.
