Book Description
It is 1944, and vast armies drive each other back and forth over blood-drenched Europe. In the midst of it, two radically different women meet, one a Russian speaking American on a failed diplomatic mission and the other a Soviet sniper. The American, fleeing a sordid past worthy of Dostoyevsky, has murder in her heart but has injured no man. The other, a once-saintly believer, has killed a hundred of them for Stalin. Their politics are worlds apart, but a reckless drunken kiss has tied them together, through church and trench, incense and the smoke of battle. If they survive the war, can they survive the peace?

"We don't shoot the warn. We shoot to kill." Mitchell threatened. "You think I'm afraid of you?" Darren laughed, a little too loud for their liking. "You've got some nerve Darren to be trying to play me like this. You should know I never lose." Kale barked. "You can't lose if you were never in the game to begin with Kale." "Looks like I'll keep on reigning with you out of the picture. Remember, Kings never die. Say hi to your gang in hell for me." Kale spat, cocking his gun and pointing it down at the beaten body that was smiling victoriously up at him. What happens when a gang leader and a rich girl end up in a tricky situation? Chaos. It's a paradise, and it's a war zone. On what looks to be like the perfect first day of summer, turns into complete destruction. You wouldn't expect to become friends with the town's notorious bad boy and kidnapped by a gang of rebellious boys, but unfortunately for Addison Montgomery - exactly that happens. You could say her luck runs thin, but for Kale Matthews it's not all bad. But of course, with every bad boy comes a good girl who doesn't know the tricks of the trade.

“A first-rate police thriller.”—Jonathan Kellerman Detective Frank Keogh. He’s a man who trades on nerve and luck—and a cop who’s about to become an executioner’s target. Detective Frank Keogh has a rare gift—for killing. He picked it up in the jungles of Vietnam and perfected it on New York’s mean streets. It’s a talent that comes in handy when you’re a sniper for the NYPD. But over the years his calling has produced a numbness that has his partner worries: Is Frank finding it too easy to pull the trigger now? Then, on a steamy August night in the South Bronx, a cop connected to Frank is found bizarrely murdered. No one really believes that Keogh is capable of such a brutal act . . . until a second savagely mutilated body is found, and the MO echoes a famous case solved by Frank’s father, a retired detective. Suddenly, Frank Keogh is a fugitive, dodging cops and meeting violence as he takes off on a cross-country chase to the Southwest desert . . . desperately searching for the man who framed him—and the father who could be his last, best hope of staying alive. “An epic police thriller . . . crackling with narrative energy . . . and a deep-grained savvy about cop ways and mores.”—Kirkus Reviews
