Richard Dean wants to hire Joe hunter for a job. The job is very personal to Dean since it involves his daughter. Dean believes her very rich boyfriend Bradley Jorgensen is abusing his daughter, Marianne. Hunter works with an ex-Ranger known as Rink.

Hunter decides to accept the job. Dean does not care what Hunter has to do to get Marianne away from Jorgensen. His main goal is for Hunter to accomplish this task any way possible. After a nonchalant meeting with Marianne, Hunter sees a woman who seems happy with no signs of abuse. Even after dropping a few hints that he could help her, Marianne did not appear to need anything from Joe Hunter.

Dantalion, a hired killer, has been contracted to kill Jorgensen and Marianne. Dantalion’s first attempt was unsuccessful because Hunter happened to be there and saved the couple. Who has hired Dantalion to kill this couple and why?

Other questions remain in Hunter’s mind such as is Marianne covering up for her boyfriend? Is he abusing her? What is she hiding?

What appeared to be a simple job is now much more complicated for Hunter. Is he able to find out what is really going on between Marianne and Jorgensen?

This adds an interesting twist to the story as the reader can put the pieces together and end up getting a good idea of what is coming down the pike.
