Synopsis
Law student Monica Sable is in trouble; “In the wrong place, at the wrong time, overhearing the wrong conversation”, her entire world is about to turn upside down.
Using his mastery of the 122 Rules of Psychology, government assassin Sam Bradford hunts down everyone The Agency sends him to find and eliminate them. Just as he has his rifle scope focused on his latest victim, Monica Sable, a SoCal girl somehow entangled with the mob, his long-dormant conscience reappears for a final performance--one last-ditch effort to save the sinking ship of Sam's soul. He's killed innocents before but stalls on pulling the trigger this time.
When Monica escapes his crosshairs and fumbles her way across the country in a fast paced, desperate attempt to elude capture, Sam gives chase. But he's not the only one after her. Ruthless mob hitmen, froth like bloodhounds and nip at Monica's heels.
In his black-and-white world, Sam Bradford--former Marine turned government tool--finally sees a speck of gray. He has always followed orders without question, but his latest assignment threatens to disrupt the precision of his universe and may either sever or redeem his last remaining sliver of humanity. Now Sam is faced with a choice: turn his back on the rules and jeopardize his way of life by helping her, or join the pack and rip her to shreds.

Review
"122 Rules is a fast-paced thrill-ride, filled with rich characters living in an expertly woven world of mystery and suspense. Deek Rhew's debut novel will take readers by storm, and keep them coming back for sequels." -Michelle K. Pickett, Bestselling and award-winning author of PODs and Unspeakable. With a pinch of humor and multiple twists of violent action, 122 RULES is a page-turning thriller where law-upholders, law-enforcers and law-breakers co-exist in a fuzzy line that makes you wonder: Who is enforcing the law, who is breaking it, and who are the victims of this uncertainty? Monica, a feisty and irreverent law student, is caught in the middle of it all when she finds herself in the wrong place, at the wrong time, overhearing the wrong conversation, one that changes her life forever taking us on a warped path where, what we think is real, might not be true, and what is true, is clearly debatable. Yes, Deek Rhew keeps you wondering until the last page! - Leonardo Wild, author of THE GALAPAGOS AGENDA
About the Author
Deek did not set out to be a writer. Originally, he wanted to follow father's path as a career military man and fly for the Air Force. So, Deek spent two years in high school preparing for the ROTC. During a routine check-in, his recruiter asked about any handicaps, to which Deek jokingly replied he was colorblind. The recruiter got a funny look on his face and informed Deek that the closest he'd ever get to the pilot's seat was from the scheduling office. Um no.
After that, Deek focused on his love for music--touring with a local rock band and majoring in the art in college. Unfortunately he didn't enjoy the life of a pauper, so he started secondary school over. Ten years later, he walked across the stage with a computer science degree. He now slings web code for a major electronics company in his hometown.
Though he loves his job and the people he works with, Deek has been enthralled by the written word and storytelling since he picked up his first Stephen King novel, It. On his way to work one day, a scene so vivid flashed through his mind that he felt compelled to pull over and put it to paper. Having neither quill nor parchment in which to document the image, he laboriously pecked out the first chapter of 122 Rules on his phone.
Deek lives in a rainy pocket in the Pacific Northwest with the stunning YA author bride, Erin Rhew, and their writing assistant, a fat tabby named Trinity. They enjoy lingering in the mornings, and often late into the night, caught up Erin's fantastic fantasy worlds of noble princes and knights and entwined in Deek's dark underworld of the FBI and drug lords.
He and Erin love to share books by reading aloud to one another. In addition, they enjoy spending time with friends, running, boxing, lifting weights, and exploring the little town--with antique shops and bakeries--they call home.
