HE’S GOT A TARGET ON HIS BACK...

PITY THE WANNABE HIT MAN.

Some dimwit in New York’s put out a contract on Lou Fleener, private detective and street fighter extraordinaire. A completely boneheaded move—

these Big Apple goons have no idea who they’re dealing with.

And a totally unjust one too—all

Lou did was accidentally start a gang war in Chicago.

Hardly worth mentioning.A few toughs try their luck at taking him out (and wish they hadn’t), but when

an innocent citizen’s killed in a drive-by intended for Lou

, he decides enough is enough. He figures he’ll just find out who’s footing the bill and ask them to cancel the contract.So Lou and Cassidy, his beautiful, fierce, and fiercely loyal sharp-shooter wife, head for New York, bringing Lou's unique brand of one-man gang warfare.

He'd have been happy to talk it out. He asked nice, but they wanted a war.

So they got Lou, who’s always way more trouble than anybody's ever expecting.Even with a bum ankle, Lou’s still the best street fighter in Chicago. And in New York,

he’s also got a secret weapon—

a smooth New York P.I. who knows his way around the local crime empires.

As always, a good part of the fun is watching everyone underestimate a short, pudgy underdog,

and the satisfaction of witnessing their thoroughgoing annihilation.

New location and crime-fighting partner; same funny, quirky brand of noir, plus fast-moving action for hard-boiled fans and the latest episode in a one-of-a-kind, against-all-odds love story.

Duane Lindsay’s genius for creating vibrant characters and brilliant plots is in top form here. He’s created a terrifying adversary who’ll keep readers on tenterhooks right up to the final stunning plot twist.

Perfect for fans of the late Donald E. Westlake and Lawrence Block’s Bernie Rhodenbarr series.
