Murder has always been easy for the Butcher’s Boy—it’s
what he was raised to do. But when he kills the senior
senator from Colorado and arrives in Las Vegas to pick up
his fee, he learns that he has become a liability to his
shadowy employers. His actions attract the attention of
police specialists who watch the world of organized crime,
but though everyone knows that something big is going on,
only Elizabeth Waring, a bright young analyst in the
Justice Department, works her way closer to the truth, and
to the frightening man behind it.
