About the Author:
"A sophisticated psychological thriller."—Booklist.
"Taut, well-paced, full of surprises and sparky New York dialogue."—The (London) Times.
"Perfect for a jaded mystery buff."—Chicago Sun-Times.
The freelance hit man known as Pluto takes a unique approach to his profession: clients don't know they've hired the assassin until after the murder. Pluto looks for a conflict between two people, kills one of them, and invoices the other. No one is ever foolish enough to deny payment—Pluto always collects his fee. When Lt. James Murtaugh of the New York Police Department takes on the case, Pluto begins stalking the investigating officer, leading to a suspenseful battle of wits between the detective and the relentless killer. Loaded with intriguing characters and ingenious twists, this action-packed mystery promises compulsive page-turning and an electrifying ending.
