About the book
Billy Summers is a crime novel about a former Marine sniper who works as a hitman and accepts only contracts on truly evil men. Wanting to retire, he agrees to one final job for a mobster he has long worked with, for a large payment. His target is another killer, now in custody, whom someone wants silenced before he can talk to the police. To prepare, Billy settles into a small Southeastern town posing as a writer with an office overlooking the courthouse. Doubts about the arrangement soon begin to trouble him, and he starts making his own plans.
