About this ebook
A Retired Hit Man's Deadliest Job Yet: Surviving His Mother-in-Law
Multiple Shamus Award winner Loren D. Estleman delivers a riveting tale of an ex-hit man caught between his dangerous past and his eccentric new family. Peter Macklin has taken steps to distance himself from his mob days: quitting the business, moving away from Detroit, and marrying the stunning and sharp Laurie. But when he discovers her mother's boyfriend, Benjamin Grinnell, is a spotter for armed robbers, Macklin's old instincts kick in.
Grinnell's in hot water after failing to spot a gun-toting shop-owner during a heist. Now, not only is Grinnell's life on the line, but Laurie's and her mother's as well. Driven by professional curiosity and a fierce desire to protect his loved ones, Macklin investigates Grinnell's shady dealings. But as he untangles the web of enemies, from Ohio mobsters to the law, Macklin finds himself in the crosshairs. It all culminates in a deadly shootout where Macklin must use every ounce of his hitman prowess to safeguard his new life and family. In this gripping thriller, the stakes have never been higher as a retired killer's domestic bliss hangs precariously in the balance.
