Departures by JG Wallace The first book in the Hard Turn SeriesCaptain Dan Hatfield is an airline pilot and war hero; someone who likes to feel in control of his aircraft and his life. The direction of his life takes a Hard Turn, instantly, when he secretly witnesses his wife cheating on him with a friend. Hatfield has a chance meeting with a Mafia assassin who is struggling to do his job due to increased technology. They strike a bargain. Hatfield wants his wife and lover eliminated, and in return, Hatfield goes to work for the assassin. He meets Sindee Simpson, an amazingly-sexual and beautiful woman; they fall in love quickly, enjoying their new lives together very much. As an airline pilot, Hatfield travels very anonymously. No plane tickets, hotels in his name, or taxicabs, so the assassin is able to easily send Hatfield on jobs anywhere in the country. There is adventure, danger, and retribution in the jobs Hatfield successfully completes for his new boss. Suddenly, the situation takes a Hard Turn, exploding into something bigger than all of them when Mexican drug cartels and the CIA are involved. The assassin and Hatfield work together to work everything to their mutual advantage.
