Dean Nash feels that something is missing from his life and, one day, is invited to a night club, and, suddenly, everything changes after meeting the owner, Nick Burns. Nash is involved in a robbery masterminded by Burns and soon begins to grasp every opportunity, following instructions from his new mentor. Their actions quickly fall under investigation by a government agency headed by Jon Wagstaff. Nash not only has the fear of Wagstaff around every corner, but soon enters into a journey of self-awareness over a past he knows nothing about. Nash’s best friend, Shaun Neal, is completely unaware of Nash’s involvement in the robbery and suddenly, driven by anger following the death of his new girlfriend, goes on the rampage after Nash. The final standoff sees Wagstaff, Burns, Neal and Nash in a shootout ending with an unfortunate death, but which men survive to see another day remains to be seen.
Steven Bosworth, an accomplished and qualified engineering manager who has worked for several large international companies, wanted to share some of the experiences and emotions shared throughout his life. He had the idea for the main character, Dean Nash, over 20 years ago, and it wasn’t until 2010 that he finally put pen to paper.

Nash's best friend, Shaun Neal, is completely unaware of Nash's involvement in the robbery and suddenly, driven by anger following the death of his new girlfriend, goes on the rampage after Nash. The final standoff sees Wagstaff, Burns, Neal, and Nash in a shootout ending with an unfortunate death, but which men survive to see another day remains to be seen. A truly riveting read from cover to cover, "The Betrayal" showcases author Steven Bosworth's distinctive narrative storytelling style as a novelist.
While unreservedly recommended for community library Contemporary Suspense/Thriller Fiction collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that "The Betrayal" is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $4.50).
