by Lawrence Block

On This Page

Description

Assassinations, political upheaval, student riots, and conservative rage. In the thick of the Cold War it was the perfect recipe for revolution, and it only took a gentle push to send a nation toppling into dictatorship. But what if it happened in the United States? Miles Dorn can make it so. A hired killer with no past and no future, sets his sights on the political leaders holding America back from the brink. When they fall, a tyrant will step forward and Dorn will disappear again.
