An elite assassin takes a job no one should be able to pull off: kill an abusive priest and make it look like God did it.
Michael Harrier has built his reputation on a system no one else uses. Every contract comes with two targets. One dies. Someone else takes the blame.
It's worked flawlessly for years.

What should be a clean hit starts to unravel. A woman with a violent past pulls him off course. A single mistake threatens to expose everything. And for the first time, Harrier is forced to improvise.
Meanwhile, LAPD homicide sergeant Jordan Becker is hunting a killer he can't pin down.

As Harrier's world tightens and Becker starts to break through, both men are pulled into a game where every move has consequences-and no one is as untouchable as they think.
Because this time, getting away with murder isn't the hardest [...]'s controlling what comes next. For fans of:The Day of the JackalTrue DetectiveHeatThe Silence of the Lambs
