This is the second of the Peter Macklin suspense series. It is a very good story. It shows that in Detroit of the 1980's even Mafia Hitmen have troubles.

A japanese asassination attempt on him misfires. He is taken to the cleaners by his wife when he is divorced. The hijackers of the Bobolo incident's boss has a killer on his trail and the attempt on his life delays him causing klieg's nice to be killed.

The second in the Peter Macklin crime suspense series. A mysterious criminal entity hires several hitmen to take out retired mobster assassin Macklin. Not at the high level of Estleman's first Macklin novel of suspense - Kill Zone - but good enough in it's own way.
