Book Description
EDGAR AWARD WINNER • After a high-level assassination, a professional hitman becomes a target himself and must fight to survive—while evading the government analyst who’s suddenly on his trail—in this “brilliantly plotted thriller” (The Washington Post) from New York Times bestselling author Thomas Perry.
With an Introduction by Michael Connelly
“Shrewdly planned and executed.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Totally enthralling.”—The New Yorker
“Thomas Perry has hit the mark.”—Houston Chronicle
Murder has always been easy for the Butcher’s Boy—it’s what he was raised to do. But when he kills the senior senator from Colorado and arrives in Las Vegas to pick up his fee, he learns that he has become a liability to his shadowy employers. His actions attract the attention of police specialists who watch the world of organized crime, but though everyone knows that something big is going on, only Elizabeth Waring, a bright young analyst in the Justice Department, works her way closer to the truth, and to the frightening man behind it.
