Ultimate Rush

First-time novelist Joe Quirk races into traffic with a high-speed action thriller that hurls a renegade roller-blade messenger against the San Francisco PD, the Chinese mafia, and a worldwide web of high-finance murderers.

As the sole roller-blading courier at a San Francisco delivery service, Chet Griffin is the fastest messenger in town. Every day, he delivers critically confidential packages, but when he hands over an already-opened envelope containing a floppy disk with billion-dollar information, a deadly serious customer demands satisfaction. On a routine run, Chet's messenger co-worker gets murdered, the finger's pointed at him, and Chet finds himself on a rush job to save his own life.

Driven by family ghosts and a little-guy rage against the big-guy machine, Chet enlists the help of his skateboarder-chick best buddy and his superhacker roommate, and takes off across the city to track down the evidence he needs to clear his name -- and put away the bad boys who want him dead. With ultra-fast pacing and attitude to burn, it's a heart-clenching chase of cat and mouse pad leading up to a blade-churning, bullet-blasting finish like no other.
