“Three years ago Reed Montgomery made a decision that landed him with a one-way ticket to death row. It was there, in the dark confines of federal prison, that he made a deal with the devil: become an assassin, and complete thirty kills in exchange for his freedom. Over the last three years, he’s made good on that bargain, executing mobsters and businessmen, politicians and diplomats — anyone who became a target of Reed’s ruthless employer. Each silenced heartbeat is another tick off a shrinking list as Reed counts down the days until he can hang up the rifle and disappear forever, leaving behind the carnage and losing himself in the masses. With only one kill remaining, Reed accepts a contract to assassinate a Georgia state senator. It’s an easy job: one 745-yard shot, and he’s home free. But as the clock winds down on the hit, every practiced instinct from years of living outside the law warn him that this is anything but the end. He’s been set up, he’s running out of time, and the noose is tightening. The Prosecutor will fight to the death.”–Back cover
