Even before he saw her face, he knew. She was the one. He has to meet her, and he does.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer name is Cynthia, and to Mitch, she couldn’t have been more perfect if she’d stepped out of his dreams.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere’s only one problem: Cynthia is married.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMitch knows what it’s like to be cheated on. It happened with his ex-wife. And so in spite of his desire for Cynthia, he doesn’t want to be responsible for doing to someone else what was done to him. He tries to settle for being her friend.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd Cynthia needs a friend. Her husband has money, and he has power. He’s cruel, and she is as much his prisoner as she is his wife. But when his cruelty to her crosses the line, Mitch is determined to free her from the miserable bondage of her marriage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat happens next is a battle that not only puts Mitch and Cynthia in danger, but also his closest friends. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore the battle is over, the action will fly from the Jersey Shore to hills of West Virginia and back. It will bring into play the power of the U.S. Government, and the vicious skills of one of the world’s deadliest assassins. No one is safe – not friends, not lovers…not even other killers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLongtime fans of The Black will recognize the characters from “Friends, Lovers and other Killers” from his other novels, novellas and short stories.
