When he receives a pet assignment and an inevitable personal challenge, he discovers he may make the worst of them both. Edmund LeFrance is a habitual gambler and itinerant hit man whose employer accepts a job from a CIA agentit’s a simple fix that could have long-term implications. Hoyt Gamlin is retired SAS from working-class Britain. A missing compatriot draws him from sunny Los Angeles into the searchand his characteristic aggression. And Marek Hussar is a recent arrivalseemingly a businessman with little furniture and a wealth of kitan eccentric and enigmatic foreign national whose motions and motivations interleave and unfold beside Foster, LeFrance, and Gamlin, as they each move to discover, subvert, and survive the intentions of the other.
