A good man.A split-second decision.A life he can never go back to.Dr. Simon Spero is not a hero. He's not a cop. He's not trained for violence.He's a doctor. A husband. A father.And when an unspeakable act shatters his quiet life, he does what many men do.He buys a gun.He tells himself it's for protection.For safety.For peace of mind.But when he's unexpectedly forced to pull the trigger, everything changes.A man is dead.And that's only the beginning.As guilt gives way to paranoia and revenge creeps closer to his front door, Simon is forced into a world he never imagined entering — one where the law, morality, and survival no longer align.Every choice he makes pulls his family deeper into danger.Because sometimes protecting the people you love... means becoming someone you never wanted to be.SHOT DOWN is a gripping crime thriller about consequence, fear, and how far an ordinary man will go when the line between right and wrong disappears.Perfect for readers of Gregg Hurwitz, David Baldacci, and John Grisham who love high-stakes suspense, psychological tension, and ordinary people forced into impossible choices.
