Publisher's Synopsis
Tommy Shotwell. Ex-Cop. Former FBI and CIA agent. Private Investigator. Compulsive Gambler. Business was not looking good for Tommy Shotwell. Since opening his own private investigator company he had only worked on five cases. Enter Christine Mist. Daughter of multi-millionaire Anthony Mist, with an offer to buy half the agency if Tommy Shotwell would act as a mentor. It had long been her dream to be a private investigator, but Christine had an ulterior motive. Christine's mother had been killed in a lab accident a year earlier, but Christine believes she was murdered. A mysterious letter sent from her mother before she died must mean something other than the gibberish it seemed to be. And Christine wanted answers . . . and revenge. When she shows the letter to Tommy his mood immediately changes from one of humor to a cold-seriousness he rarely shows. For Tommy, the letter has brought up a past he could not forget, a past that has brought him to this present, a past with a nemesis he thought he had left far behind.The Jackal. With the new influx of cash the sale of half his agency would bring, perhaps he could get one step closer to bringing down the person responsible for destroying his life once and for all.
