Book Description
After his reluctant acceptance of a bodyguard job, Malloy realizes he's become a patsy in the murder of the man he was hired to protect. Within hours, a bounty hunter named Clarissa Jaynes has Malloy's tail. She doesn't want to bargain; she just wants the reward money.

But things get worse: there's a contract out on our man's life. Malloy has 24 hours to outwit Clarissa Jaynes, elude the police, and clear his name — or else he's dead. Can he stop drinking long enough to figure out how and why he was the Hired Gun?

In his third outing, DiFranco Murray weaves an intricate tale of mystery and suspense "unrivaled by his contemporaries" (New York Review of Arts).
