Struggling bike messenger Rex Carlton ends up in the middle of the investigation and is left for dead. Rex worked in IT, a job he did not care for.

When he read there was an opening for a bike messenger in Buffalo, he decided that had to be better than what he was doing. It turns out riding a bike for a living isn't as easy as he thought. As he second guesses his decision, he ends up tangling with one of the Buffalo vampires who put a target on his back. Will the vampires kill him before the bike does? This is Book 1 of Rex Carlton Mysteries. Read the backstory and learn more about the characters, then pick up Book 2, Double Rush.

      The Buffalo Mafia is a well-known myth that permeates the gray city streets. Talk of its presence and actions have been discouraged or scoffed at for years. Yet for Rex Carlton, that myth is going to become very, very real. As the lead bike courier for Zippee Messengers, Rex rides these city streets every day, delivering important correspondence while dodging both pedestrians and cars. When he accidentally slams into a stranger, Rex is unaware that he has crossed paths with an influential mobster, or that his life is suddenly on the line. A chance encounter and a dropped bag throw him down a rabbit hole of danger, intrigue and Mafia connections that could rock the entire city to the ground. Includes discussion guide.
