Synopsis
What will it take to stop a hitman from carrying out his contract?
His business card reads security specialist, but Julian Mercer can do just about anything. As a former SAS operative, he has training and skills few possess. But after his wife was viciously slain, Mercer gave up his commission and joined the private sector.
While visiting Chicago on a job, Julian stumbles upon the scene of a botched assassination. A man is bleeding out in his fiancée's arms. Mercer searches for the shooter. But he's too late. The attacker has disappeared. And no matter what the police say, this wasn't a mugging gone wrong. It was a hit.
Julian vows to protect the couple. After all, security is his job. But the woman doesn't want a bodyguard. She wants revenge -- a feeling Julian experiences every moment of every day. And she wants assurances that she and her fiancé will be safe to live their lives.
The only way to do that is to find the shooter and the mastermind behind the hit. But nothing is ever simple. Violence and mayhem decimate the city as Julian and his team race to stop the killer. Until they remove the threat, lives hang in the balance. With limited options, Julian may have to sacrifice himself or what little is left of his soul in order to keep his promise. Just how far will the security specialist go to make the city safe again?
Find out in this action-packed vigilante justice thriller, where revenge is best served white hot.
