Description
Beware the blade.
Louis is an assassin, one of the last of the Reapers, a syndicate of killers feared by all. He is invulnerable, untouchable.
Or so he once believed. But now Louis and his partner Angel have themselves become targets.
On the northern frontier, in a town lost to maps, Louis has walked into a trap that can only have been set by another Reaper. Powerless, hunted, he must turn to the only man who can save him: the private investigator named Charlie Parker . . .
'Utterly compelling'
Irish Times
'An absolute slam-bang finale'
