Product Description

A stunning new thriller in the vein of Velocity & The Husband from one of the worlds bestselling authors. After a days work hefting brick & stone Tim Carrier slakes his thirst at The Lamplighter Tavern. Nothing heavy happens there. Its a friendly workingmans bar run by his good friend Rooney who enjoys gathering eccentric customers. Working his deadpan humour on strangers is for Tim all part of the entertainment. But how could Tim have imagined that the stranger who sits down next to him one evening is about to unmake his world & enmesh him in a web of murder & deceit? The man has come there to meet someone & he thinks its Tim. Tims wayward sense of humour lets the misconception stand for a moment & thats all it takes: the stranger hands Tim a fat manila envelope saying Half of its there; the rest when shes gone & then hes out the door. In the envelope Tim finds the photograph of a woman her name & address written on the back; & several thick packets of hundred-dollar bills. When an intense-looking man sits down where the first stranger sat & glances at the manila envelope Tim knows hes the one who was supposed to get it. Shaken thinking fast Tim says hes had a change of heart. He removes the picture of the woman & then hands the envelope to the stranger. Half what we agreed he says. For doing nothing. Call it a no-kill fee. Tim is left holding a photo of a pretty woman but his sense of fun has led him into a very dangerous world from which there is no way back. The company of strangers has cost him his peace of mind & possibly his life.
