The Devil Doesn't Want Me (Lars and Shaine Novel)

For the last seventeen years, Lars--a hitman for an East Coast crime family--has been on the hunt for Mitch the Snitch. Mitch, an accountant who turned on Lars's employer, is living in witness protection and has been evading Lars for almost two decades.

In comes Trent, a young gun who has been sent to replace the aging gun for hire. With his old boss gone, Lars realizes he has lost the desire to kill his long-time target.

When things come to a head with Trent, Lars finds himself on the run with Mitch's teenage daughter Shaine, trying to stay one step ahead of angry mobsters and the FBI, as they make their way from New Mexico to California.
