Country Roads - Paperback

It was supposed to be a quiet night for Bobbie Casto and his friends outside their small town of Rion, West Virginia. But when two police officers arrive, things quickly spiral out of control. Now, Bobbie is on the run, his friends dead, and himself wanted for the attempted murder of a police officer.

So when Bear Beauchamp checks on his business partner Raymond Byrd and finds him abetting the young kid, he knows of only one person that can help: Jackson Clay.

Together, they try to piece together what happened that night, but what they learn may be even worse then what's happened. Prying eyes aren't welcome in this part of West Virginia. As the group begins to uncover an organized crime racket that stretches to the highest levels of state government, they go from being the hunters to being the hunted.

But unexpected enemies mean unexpected allies. Jackson and Bear begin to recruit a band of unlikely cohorts, but time isn't on their side. They need to expose the truth before those wanting to silence them catch up, and Jackson and Bear are running out of road.

"I absolutely love this story. I love these characters, and I love the dynamic between Bear and Jackson...This series could go on for a really long time with the two of them."

-Charly Cox, Author of The Devil's Playground and Alone in the Woods

"Country Roads is an unputdownable, adrenaline-charged read that cements Jackson Clay's place next to other iconic avenger-type heroes. With terrific storytelling and characters that are topnotch, B.C. Lienesch delivers a page-turner that breathes new life into the action-thriller genre, giving us all a new favorite hero to root for."

-Shawn Burgess, Author of The Tear Collector and Ghosts of Grief Hollow

"If you liked B.C. Lienesch's debut action/thriller, The Woodsman, you'll love the sequel Country Roads which features again heroic protagonist Jackson Clay and his wisecracking companion, Bear. Once again, Lienesch delivers an action-packed story with new characters that are as fully developed and engaging as his returning cast. It's been a while since I've both loved and hated fictional characters this much."
