    About this ebook

    When does the price of gratitude become too big of a bill to pay?

    Blake Casson is used to being hired for assassination work, but when he's asked to do a recovery job of a kidnap victim he doesn't want any part of it. The problem is, the man who saved Casson's life previously is the kidnap victim's father, and he's determined to bring Casson in on the job.

    Soon, Casson finds himself caught up in a game of cat-and-mouse throughout New York City in an effort to recover the abducted woman. When the investigation leads to a dramatic showdown, Casson discovers he may not live to see his end of the favor upheld.

    A work of crime from our Fingerprints line.

The hurried pace of autumn in New York City was playing itself out on the other side of the bay window next to their table, but neither man appeared to be moved by it.

      They were seated in Il Bellisimo, the newest and trendiest restaurant in the newest and trendiest neighborhood of New York City—the meatpacking district. An area that a decade before was known for cross-dressing hookers by night and slaughterhouses by day had metamorphosed into the place to be and be seen of not only haute couture, but also the young and fabulous of New York City.

      Il Bellisimo had opened with much fanfare a few months ago; a lot of the press coming for the architecture and glitziness, not to mention the buzz surrounding the bold manner in which the owners had spent lavishly to bring aboard the chef from the Central Park Ritz Carlton. The restaurant was a two-story spiral glass Bauhaus/minimalist creation that was nothing short of magnificent in structure and breathtaking in design. And of course, it came with
