Cannon's Mouth (Rafferty P.I.)

Someone wants a man dead. And they thought Rafferty was the guy to do it.

It starts with an innocent street-corner mix-up. Mistaken for a contract killer, Rafferty gets handed the details of a hit-for-hire job. But when he lays it all out for the cops, they show him the door and tell him to forget the whole thing.

Never one to walk away, Rafferty decides to warn the mark. Good deeds never go unpunished. Rafferty ends the night holding a suitcase full of cash—with a corpse at his feet.

Now he’s caught between a police department that won’t get involved and the real hitman who wants his payday. And when someone goes after Hilda to send a message, Rafferty stops waiting for permission—and starts drawing lines.

Because it’s one thing to threaten him. It’s another to target the woman he loves.

Hardboiled, sharp-tongued, and relentlessly paced, Cannon’s Mouth is the fifth novel in the Shamus Award-winning Rafferty P.I. series. Fans of Spenser, Reacher, and Elvis Cole—step into Rafferty’s world today.
