About Hard Cases A Newfoundland Thriller
If you found a briefcase sitting on a city bus, would you take it? If you found $50,000 cash inside, would you keep it? If you could make a million for doing something truly terrible, would you do it? Hardcases is a fast-paced thriller set on the streets of St. John's and escalating to a hair-raising conclusion amid the ancient fjords of Newfoundland's west coast. A twenty-something Englishman new to The Rock, protagonist Greg Masters, soon falls in with "The Gulls"--a gang of characters as colourful as the capital city's famous jelly bean row houses. After finding a briefcase full of cash on a city bus, he and his misfit friends are pulled into a series of increasingly risky dares perpetrated by a mysterious, riddling benefactor. Finding a twist at every turn, The Gulls embark on a journey that tests their friendships, their loyalties, and the limits of their morality, all leading to the million-dollar question: Where would you draw the line? Hardcases has been described by early readers as "a page-turning Ocean's Eleven with a Newfoundland twist."
