Synopsis

A gangster hitman. A shoemaker. One shot at grace.

Carrying his broken shoe, Tim Randall steps into Billy Cranny's quiet shop and straight into the shadow of a decades-old crime that binds Billy with hitman Ronnie Rhodes, who uses his sharp mind and cold instincts to keep himself alive. Tim's arrival trips a wire that's been buried for years. The past resurfaces-slow, steady, and unforgiving-and these men are pulled into a reckoning none of them saw coming.

Syracuse Hitman v. The Shoe Repairman is a gritty novel about gangsters, crime and consequence, addiction, and the unexpected moments that lead a broken life toward grace.
