Time of the Assassins
In 1977, Larry Cole, then a patrolman in Chicago, and international assassin Baron Alain Marcus Casimir von Rianocek cross paths when Rianocek makes an aborted attempt on the life of a Mafia don but is foiled by Cole. They meet again in New York City in 1989 when Rianocek and his two closest cohorts murder a woman but in the ensuing debacle barely escape with their lives. In 2003, an attorney with a grudge gets out of prison hires Rianocek and company to wreak havoc on Chicago and on Larry Cole, whom he holds personally responsible for all that has gone wrong in his life. In this sixth series novel, Holton drops his use of mayhem and magic to tell a straight, fast-paced tale of hatred and revenge.
