Publisher's Synopsis
Joseph White is a killer. He is cold, merciless, and the best at what he does. It is all he has ever known and it is all he cares to know. But when the king passes legislation to end crime in Shittown, White is caught up in a conspiracy that will change him forever. Not only will he be changed, but all of Shittown will be changed as well, for better or worse. White will discover those he calls his enemies may actually be his allies, and those he calls his friends may in fact be keeping secrets that could lead to his death. And when a girl named Alexandra crosses his path, White will for the first time question his life and his ways. In a few short days, Joseph White will be a completely different man, dead or alive.
