Synopsis: Hit man Peter Macklin battles divorce attorneys, mobsters, and hired assassins in this action-packed, hard-boiled thriller For years, Donna ignored the guns in her husband&’s safe, his long hours, and all the cash he couldn&’t possibly have made as an &“efficiency expert.&” But finally she was forced to admit that Peter Macklin is a killer for hire. Donna wants a divorce, and she wants to take her husband for all he&’s worth. But she won&’t get a penny if he&’s dead. Macklin, who recently cut ties with the mob, is leaving his divorce attorney&’s office when he&’s attacked. Quick thinking saves his life, but the Detroit mob has turned on him, and they&’ll keep sending assassins until Macklin is put in the ground. He&’ll have to kill like never before—or this hit man won&’t live to make his first alimony payment. This riveting thriller from three-time Shamus Award–winning author Loren D. Estleman features one of the most redoubtable antiheroes in hard-boiled crime fiction. Roses Are Dead is the 2nd book in the Peter Macklin Thrillers, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
