Carl Bowman's job is to do what he's hired to do, kill! When he is on site, he finds he cannot kill ten-year-old Rebecca Martin. So, instead, he takes her away with him. Her home has exploded, and he wants to keep her safe until he can reunite her with her mother. But when he turns to family for help, he's left to figure out who is friend and who is foe.

John Connor has penned a fast-moving and intricately put together tale. One that begins by asking why would anyone want to kill a child? And, finally, how can anyone hate so much? This was a good read.
