Manipulation, Money, and Murder - Sheryl Jordan - Bog

Xavier Hudson begins his life of crime at an early age. When he is still a child, his mother teaches him to steal, while his father gambles away every penny they had. As he grows up in the small town of Marion, Indiana in the 1960's, Xavier becomes a cold-blooded criminal, filled with rage, arrogance, and greed. Every action-even those that might seem good-carries the ulterior motive of evil intent.
His boundless greed for money leads first to store and bank robberies-and then to murder. Eventually, a sheriff runs him out of the state, and Xavier finds safe haven in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His lesson has yet to be learned, though, as he continues his life of crime and abuse in his new city.
Shannon Wilson is a sweet, naive young woman who grew up in the same small town as Xavier. Their paths surprisingly cross in Minneapolis, when she moves there to raise her two children as a single mother. When they meet, both of their lives are irrevocably changed, but Shannon may not be able to settle Xavier down. Instead, they might both end up with blood on their hands.
