FRESH MAYHEM AND VINTAGE TROUBLE
Seven Times Dead
While waiting for a friend at a bar in Nice, France, American salesman Richard Slade is slipped a flash drive by a mysterious and beautiful woman, and his life spirals miserably downwards. He is followed, arrested and accused of murder.
​
Slade manages to escape to hunt down the one person who can help him save himself. But the more he struggles toward salvation, the more he falls into the grip of the law and the lawless, in this street-level crime story set on the French Riviera.
