American Muscle - Paperback

by Jimmy De Santo (Author)

To his friends and neighbors, James Worthington is just a small-town single father, raising his sixteen-year-old son and doing a damn fine job of it. He runs the local auto parts store, sells hot dogs at high school football games, and doesn't swear on Sundays. But when James becomes the victim of what appears to be a routine robbery, a secret he left in the rearview mirror years before threatens to tear his quiet life to pieces. Soon, members of the Pugliese crime family come calling, and James is forced to dust off his '68 Oldsmobile 442 and take to the road with his boy. She may be a stone-cold work of Detroit steel, but James and his son are about to learn a harsh truth about life: No matter what you've got under the hood, you can't outrun the past.
