The perfect crime doesn't exist. The perfect getaway . . . that's another story. Billy Summers is a killer for hire. He's among the best snipers in the world; a decorated Iraq war vet who can blend into any neighbourhood and disappear after the shot is taken. But he'll only agree to a contract if the target is a truly bad guy. Now Billy wants out. But first he's offered one final job - an offer which is just too big to refuse. As the days count down to the hit; Billy senses something is wrong. He doesn't yet know just how wrong; or about the woman who will help him try to set things right. Part thriller; part war story; part lyrical portrait of small-town America; Billy Summers is about a good man in a bad job; with one last shot at redemption 'A compelling and engrossing read' - Sunday Express 'Adventurously shape-shifting yet always disciplined . . . dazzling' - The Sunday Times
