The Story of Sam - The Vagabond Vikings, #1

The year is 1988. Sam Reacher has always lived his life on the run. After a series of wrong turns in adolescence, he was drafted at 18 and spit back into the world tired, alone, and changed. Ready for a fresh start. Unfortunately for Sam, trouble seems to find him even when he's avoiding it. When he rolls into the sleepy town of Eddington, he's sure he's finally found a place to exist quietly. But fate is seductively cruel and has other plans for Sam.
And his heart.
