Synopsis: Two short novels from a master of hard-boiled storytellingSimon Crane is an ex-cop with a bad leg, a small pension, and a former lover, Joanne, who works for Sal Aiello, undisputed crime boss of a dusty southwestern city. When Aiello and his millions disappear, the city&’s underworld whips into a frenzy that could get Joanne killed. To save her life, Crane must find the dead mobster&’s cash before anyone else does. Somebody put a hit out on Aiello, and if Crane can&’t find out who, he will be taking the bullet himself. In this special edition ebook, The Hit is paired with The Marksman, a tense novella about a combat veteran caught up in criminal dealings far more violent than anything he saw in the Middle East. Garfield&’s prose is spare and his storytelling is electric from page one. Both novellas overflow with grim, relentless action.
