No Reason to Live - Liam Flood

The Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the most beautiful driving roads in the world. Mike Lyons decides to explore it. However, in a world driven by technology and profit, some games are more dangerous than they appear. Deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains, a powerful gaming company operates behind closed doors, far from scrutiny. Its success is built on innovation, but rumours persist that something far darker lies beneath the surface.

When a distressed stranger crosses paths with Mike Lyons, an Irish-born ex-cop travelling across America, what seems like a chance encounter quickly turns unsettling. The man is terrified, incoherent, and clearly running from something. Before long, Mike finds himself pulled into a mystery he can't ignore. As he begins to dig, resistance comes fast and hard.

With the help of his girlfriend and a handful of locals, Mike edges closer to the truth, uncovering a world where ambition, secrecy, and human desperation collide. But some secrets are protected at any cost, and the deeper he goes, the more dangerous it becomes.

Gripping and atmospheric, No Reason to Live is a tense thriller about trust, survival, and the hidden dangers lurking behind closed doors.
