WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THEY TOOK EVERYTHING? Oliver Fitch has a troubling issue; he lives in a state of constant terror. After purchasing a convenience store in a once civil society, the streets around him have rapidly devolved into utter lawlessness. They're now festering with sinister gutter scum that only live to harass and intimidate him. His pathetic profits are gouged under the threat of violence and there isn't a damn thing he can do about it. Because in a city with no rules, where the sun never shines, the authorities are no help. In fact, they're an equal part of the problem. The relentless fear of confrontation is so obvious that even Oliver's wife Lydia has grown to resent his spineless existence. The absence of bravado opens the door to a horrific home invasion that leaves the miserable pair savagely maimed. From there, things only get worse until the criminal leeches have taken everything. Until there's nothing left inside but hate and the gnawing hunger for revenge. Until a switch finally flips and Oliver realizes that they all have to die.

My review is for a physical copy of the book I own.
Oliver Fitch is a mild-mannered man, that doesn't always have the stubbornness, inner strength or courage to stand up for himself or for his wife especially when a gangbanger, thug is threatening to inflict violence upon her.
He's married to his wife Lydia, but over time their relationship has become a love/hate, volatile and hostile type of relationship, they can't stand each other and constantly point out each others flaws whenever they argue.
Over time Oliver has developed a understandable hatred for his insufferable, bitch of a wife, he is always written off, underestimated, not appreciated, not respected, wanted or needed, so it's very much understandable that Oliver would murder his wife, Lydia and enact his most sick, sadistic, perverse, murderous fantasies and go on a murderous, killing spree and murder everyone that ever fucked with him, or fucked him over.
Anyone that deserved what was coming to them, that treated him like he is just a weak, chump, just a feeble old man with a hot, bitch of a wife.
They aren't in the best financial situation and the location of the Stop N' Go is another issue due to the less than savoury clientele that frequent the convenience store.
Angel Rodriguez the Mexican gangbanger, the racist Officer Logan Thomas seem like good candidates for Oliver to torture and murder for his own sick amusement and sadistic pleasure.
