Chances are, if youre a target of Billy Summers, two immutable truths apply: Youll never even know what hit you, and youre really getting what you deserve. Hes a killer for hire and the best in the businessbut hell do the job only if the assignment is a truly bad person. But now, time is catching up with him, and Billy wants out. Before he can do that though, theres one last hit, which promises a generous payday at the end of the line even as things dont seem quite on the level here. Given that Billy is among the most talented snipers in the world, a decorated Iraq war vet, and a virtual Houdini when it comes to vanishing after the job is done, what could possibly go wrong? How about everything.
