Behind the Scenes
Clara Rinker is a southerner, trim, pleasant, attractive
— and the best hit woman in the business. She isn't showy, not like one of
those movie killers; she just goes quietly about her business, collects her
money, and goes home.
It's when she's hired for a job in Minnesota that things
become complicated for her. A defense attorney wants a rival eliminated, and
that's fine. But then a witness survives, the attorney starts acting weird,
this big cop Davenport gets on her case, and loose ends begin popping up faster
than a sweater unraveling. Clara hates loose ends, and knows of only one way to
deal with them: You start cutting them off, one after another, until they're
all gone.
Lucas thinks the case is worrisome enough, but he has no idea
of the toll it is about to take on him. For of the many criminals he has hunted
during his life, none has been as efficient or as ferociously intelligent as
the one who is about to start hunting him — and none knows so well what
his weak spots are... and how to penetrate them.
