Description
When Leo Malone opens the fingers of his left hand and allows his father to slip quietly to his death, he is surprised to find how easy it is for him to kill. With one simple action Leo delivers himself from cruelty and oppression. However, Leo puts himself in danger by revealing his sinister secret to two people: firstly, Margaret Holmes, with whom he has a brief sexual encounter, and then Tyrone Sweeney, a best-selling author of contentious historical books. Now Leo's mind is set on eliminating these threats to his security. Margaret may be disposed of relatively simply and safely, but removing Sweeney - a tough customer who has survived several attempts on his life - will prove a much more difficult proposition.
