He came to England to rest. He calls himself Michael
Shaeffer, says he's a retired American businessman. He
goes to the races, dates a kinky aristocrat, and sleeps
with dozens of weapons. Ten years ago it was different.
Then, he was the Butcher's Boy, the highly skilled mob hit
man who pulled a slaughter job on some double-crossing
clients and started a mob war. Ever since, there's been a
price on his head.
Now, after a decade, they've found him. The Butcher's Boy
escapes back to the States with more reasons to kill.
Until the odds turn terrifyingly against him . . . until
the Mafia, the cops, the FBI, and the damn Justice
Department want his hide . . . until he's locked into a
cross-country odyssey of fear and death that could tear
his world to pieces .
