Cassel Sharpe knows he's been used as an assassin, but he's trying to put that behind him. When the Feds ask for his help, Cassel finds it hard to refuse, but the girl he loves is about to take her place at the heart of the Mob on the other side of the law. The line between what's right and what's wrong is becoming increasingly blurred. When Cassel is asked to do the one thing he said he would never do again, he needs to sort out what's a con and what's the truth. [This book description comes from a different edition of this title.
