When a mobster with Mafia connections in Detroit, Michigan, accidentally discovers the whereabouts of Jim Bartlett, a contract killer the Detroit Mafia had been seeking, it propels Bartlett and Dominic Ricci, Boss of the Ricci crime family, into a mortal battle with some devastating consequences for all involved. Bartlett, Ricci, and even Henry Wallace, Ricci's long-time attorney, are all faced with some serious decisions that will affect them in very different, and dangerous, ways. Bartlett could risk the loss of his fiancée, Moira Gray, himself, and even his career. Ricci may risk his life and maybe his status as Boss. And, Wallace may have to give up everything important to him, including his freedom. Bartlett had planned to end his career on his own terms, marry Gray, and start a new life on a remote and tropical island. Unfortunately, after a very disturbing and unexpected event, Bartlett's life suddenly changes, and not for the best. Not only does Bartlett's life change dramatically following the event, but Rosa Rodriguez's life changed too. When Rosa Rodriguez, Bartlett's employee and special friend becomes unexpectedly aware of several disturbing developments about him that had unintentionally surfaced, she is faced with a very serious and dangerous dilemma. Ultimately, it seems highly questionable whether anyone, other than Bartlett, will be able to survive and remain relatively unscathed in the process. About the Author: John W.
