odd jobs

Since his father's murder, Kevin Davenport has worked every familiar job to support himself and his widowed mother. But when he signs a contract to haul beef at Kosher World Meats, what he thought was just a crappy part-time job turns out to be the opportunity of a lifetime. Kevin discovers the meatpacking business is a front for a dastardly criminal gang. While working at the corrupt meat plant, he discovered his father's killer, and now all bets are off. Kevin has a chance to settle the score, and he'll take any job—club fighting, bookmaking, even dealing drugs—to get his revenge. But can he do it all without sacrificing his soul... or, God forbid, failing out of school? Hailed by bestselling author James Patterson as "a taut, well-written detective novel that I read in one sitting," Odd Jobs introduces a bold, exciting new voice to the ranks of American crime fiction.
