Summary

"Witty, gritty, and full of heart." (Nick Atlas, author of The Light Travelers)

After his brothers are murdered, a New York mob lawyer testifies against his associates and is forced to enter WITSEC (the Witness Protection Program). He and his wife are relocated to a rural area outside a small town in Colorado, where he is compelled to adapt to his new life under the constant threat of mafia reprisal. Reflexively resisting his immersion into all things country, this life-long city boy meets and adopts a loquacious mule and befriends his closest neighbors, who have even greater secrets to conceal.

A renegade US Marshall, a lesbian couple that includes a powerful psychic-medium-witch and an ex-army ranger complete his new circle of friends. When the mob associates are released due to the lawyer's intentionally prejudicial testimony at trial, they come gunning for him before the retrial can occur.

When wise guys meet the wise ass and friends, all hell breaks loose.

the unbelievable made real

I dont want to give too much away and spoil the story, but the cast of unbelievable characters in this tale is what makes this such a wonderful story. I love each and every one of them. Great author, engages you in the story from the first paragraph. And this book could not have been more perfectly narrated. I purchased the rest of the trilogy before i was half way through book 1 (which i binged because it is so fabulous).
