Below me I could hear the chatter of a stream, mixed with the heavy breathing of the others.Above me I could hear the men giving chase.'

But how is it he came to stop taking his medication? Who can Marko trust and how much time does he have? Time enough to write it all down, his story of a coast-to-coast trip, and the earthquake which ripped his world apart. A thriller that will breathe cold air under your collar.JOLT is a chilling psychological thriller. Here Beckett addresses serious themes; death, revenge and morality.
