Book description

Assassins cannot retire. All they can do is die. But expert hitman Columbus has never followed the rules. He and his lover Risina have turned their back on violence and fled. He wanted peace... yet he is having trouble letting go. His fears are justified when he notices a suspicious man following him. Within days he's back in Chicago - and back in his old world. Columbus must sever his last links with his past if he's to have any hope of a new life. But perhaps he doesn't really want to walk away... Derek Haas is the author of THE SILVER BEAR and the Barry Award-nominated HUNT FOR THE BEAR. Derek also co-wrote the screenplays for 3:10 to Yuma, starring Russel Crowe and Christian Bale, and Wanted, starring James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, and Angelina Jolie. His forthcoming film, The Double, starring Richard Gere and Topher Grace, is directed by his screenwriting partner Michael Brandt and will be released in 2011. Derek lives in Los Angeles.
