Soon he'll find himself pursued by a duo of mobsters that just won't die, a cult of crazed medieval warriors, and a lone government agent that can't seem to tell him the truth. As the bodies stack up, Rudy's only choice will be to go on the run to Reno with the cops in hot pursuit and his estranged wife and best friend in tow, where he'll either find what he needs to clear his name...or get all of them killed. Finding Misery is a novel about passion, second chances, and the people that make us miserable.
