Description: "Joe Pike owes a bad man a big favour - and now he wants to collect. Pike is asked to protect the life of Larkin Conner Barkley, a spoiled rich girl who happens to be the only witness to the re-appearance of a deadly mob boss. When Pike and the girl come under intense fire and he realises that he can't trust anyone, he hatches a plan: disappear into the anonymous underbelly of Los Angeles, turn the tables, and hunt down the hunters."--Page 4 of cover.
