Keller is an ordinary man - who kills people for a living. But then a hit goes wrong, and more than one life is at stake... 'Absolutely riveting ... Block is terrific' Washington Post
Keller is an ordinary man who juggles everyday life with secretive assignments as a hitman. As his jobs begin to unravel, he discovers he's become a target himself. Faced with danger, Keller must navigate the treacherous world of assassins while trying to survive.
Keller is friendly. Industrious. A bit lonely, sometimes. If it wasn't for the fact that he kills people for a living, he'd be just your average Joe. The inconvenient wife, the troublesome sports star, the greedy business partner, the vicious dog, he'll take care of them all, quietly and efficiently. If the price is right. Like the rest of us, Keller's starting to worry about his retirement. After all, he's not getting any younger. (His victims, on the other hand, aren't getting any older.) So he contacts his "booking agent," Dot, up in White Plains, and tells her to keep the hits coming. He'll take any job, anywhere. His nest egg needs fattening up. Of course, being less choosy means taking greater risks—and that could buy Keller some big trouble. Then again, in this game, there are plenty of opportunities for some inventive improvisation . . . and a determined self-motivator can make a killing.
Keller, a hitman ready to retire after one last job, finds himself in a precarious situation when he witnesses the assassination of a governor and realizes the killer resembles him. Stranded in Des Moines without resources and with his identity compromised, he must navigate the chaos and evade the law.
The explosive fifth book in the Keller series from the master of classic American crime.
