Synopsis

From Victor Gischler, the author behind the high-octane, action-packed thriller Stay, comes No Good Deed, a suspenseful audiobook about how an ordinary man--trying to do the right thing--finds himself in an extraordinary situation.

Francis was running late for work when he found the suitcase and the odd card with an email on it. He knew he shouldn't bother but he couldn't resist.

Now Francis is dodging bullets and doing his best to stay alive, wishing he had never bothered with that suitcase full of clothes.
