The Ville: Volume I by Aaron Stephenson

Louisville community college professor Jared Longley had grown comfortable with life and was excited to start a new chapter in love. But whether or not a regular guy in everyday America gets to keep his regular life is dependent upon the odds working as they normally do. The odds are that you won’t become intertwined with dangerous organized criminals when performing routine, everyday tasks. But it does happen. Jared discovers what happens when the odds work against him and dark forces work to rob him of the life he took for granted.

As he hides for his life, Jared must rely upon unlikely sources of assistance to scrap to get his life back. He must grapple with who gets hurt and what gets lost along the way to save one’s self…even if one deserves to be saved. The first volume of the crime novel series The Ville looks at the fight we must put up to maintain average American life and the toll that comes from this fight.
