WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME

When bounty hunter Toby Wells offered Rafferty two hundred bucks for fifteen minutes work the answer was obvious.

There was no way he could know Wells would murder an innocent man and use Rafferty as cover for his getaway.

Payback will taste sweet.

And would be a whole lot easier to come by if Rafferty wasn't already spending his days protecting Thorney—the octogenarian uncle of a good friend.

But a deal is a deal. He's not about to cut the old guy loose just because things got complicated.

Then Wells is back in town.

Still trigger-happy and showing no signs of slowing his murderous rampage.

Rafferty has to stop Wells.

And it has to be now.

Because Uncle Thorney is walking right into the crossfire ...

CANNON'S MOUTH

Rafferty knows everything about Max Krandorff's death.

The time, the location, and how the body should look once the killing is done.

But Rafferty will turn informer instead of executioner, leaving the guy who paid fifteen large for Max's demise to swing in the wind.

Rafferty's soon being yanked between the cops, the Feds, the out-of-pocket money man, and the real assassin who demands only one thing.

"My money. Or else ..."

Max's would-be killer has studied Rafferty. Knows where he lives and works; who he shares a bed with.

Rafferty doesn't have the first clue to the identity of the voice behind the threats.

Only that if he doesn't stop the assassin now, his whole world will go up in flames ...

FATAL SISTERS

Patty Akister wants Rafferty to find her husband, Sherm.

She says he's a secret agent. He's on a mission.

Rafferty has a fair idea where Sherm actually spends his weekends but decides there's no harm in letting Patty hold on to her fantasy.

She's paying the bill; it's the least he can do.

Rafferty will find Sherm. Convince him to go home and stop lying to his devoted wife.

But Sherm's in over his head with people who use body counts to solve problems.

They want their money back, and don't care who gets caught in the crossfire.

The closer Rafferty gets to Sherm the more bodies he has to climb over, and it's not long before he has to face the truth:

Sometimes there's only kill or be killed ...
