Meanwhile in Texas, ex-assassin Rufus, seeking vengeance for his murdered brother, takes up his beloved daggers one final time and begins the long drive to L.A. When the bodies begin to mount, Detective Alison Lockley's hunt for the killers becomes increasingly urgent. As paths cross, confusion ensues, and no one's entirely sure who's after who.

Eddie is in quite a spot. After a little rough run in, he's doing his best to stay alive and avoid people in his life. Debt collections can be so troublesome, can't they? When he meets a beautiful woman, he's suddenly entwined in scandals and adventures.
This is a crime thriller like nobody's business (haha, puns). It's fast moving, fun to read and packed tight with excitement and thrills. It has all the stereotypical movie thriller stereotypes: getaway drivers, drama, car chases and more. It's an exciting read if you love a good thriller. Believe me, you won't want to put this one down.
Some of the writing and its comments didn't sit well with me, but that's a personal stance. It doesn't really affect the enjoyment of this book for most readers.
Three out of five stars.
I received this book for free in exchange of an honest review. ( )
