A woman from his past risks her safety to help him, but she has her own score to settle. Can he trust her? More importantly, can he save himself while avenging her?

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the fifth novel in the multiple-award-winning "Payden Beck Crime Thriller" series of noir crime thrillers.

"Golvach writes with a significant degree of verisimilitude, a sense of reality that I find essential to any story. His characters are so true to life that readers will likely be able to relate them to people they know or have heard about. Golvach's ability to weave characters of varied backgrounds, social deficits, and attributes, with an in-depth knowledge of police/detective procedures, and an uncanny sense of psychological disposition for each character, is astonishing. Each book in the series is an exciting stand-alone that provides a decisive conclusion without a steep cliffhanger, simultaneously bringing the story to a satisfactory conclusion. Runt is no different..." Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, Lex Allen (5 STARS)

"This was an exceptional thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. I was constantly surprised by what happened next, and I was never let down; there was always an unexpected twist awaiting me." Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, Alma Boucher (5 STARS)

"Runt is an emotionally rich tale with strong psychological underpinnings. The streams of consciousness, the soliloquies, and the author's attention to detail are the elements that ground the characters." Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, Ruffina Oserio (5 STARS)
