In this book, a stonemason is accidentally mistaken for a professional hitman by someone who seriously wants a particular woman dead (and receives $10,000 for the job by the guy who took out the contract). When the 'true hitman' realises what's happen (the stonemason gives him the money not to do the hit), he goes after both the original target and the stonemason (who band together) to tie up loose ends and make sure he doesn't get caught. The book then becomes a game of cat and mouse between the killer and the killees.

The story isn't too bad. It's a very straight-forward nuts and bolts thriller that sees one group of people chase another, before the chased 'turn' and fight back.

The way the story is structured, it reminded me of the stories in Collateral or No Country for Old Men. Don't expect all that much depth or nuance in this book though. It's a decent enough read, but it's not really written with depth and 'shades of grey' in mind.
