Tim Carrier is in the wrong place at the wrong time when, at his local watering hole, he stumbles into the middle of a kill-for-hire against an innocent woman Tim has never met. Tim is compelled to try to assist the woman, Linda, against a killer that seems almost supernaturally skilled and forces almost too powerful to overcome. This book is sort of a horror fairy tale. I say that because the characters bear little resemblance to reality and the plot turns on shadowy conspiracy-theory power players controlling the world behind the scenes and yet, everything turns out okay in the end. If you are willing to completely suspend disbelief, you will probably enjoy it.
