El FBI lo persigue, la mafia lo persigue y la única manera de escapar es una fuga hacia adelante y más muertes ( ) The Butcher's Boy has been living abroad when a wise guy spots him at the Brighton track, and sends him on a killing rampage to convince the Mafia families that they are better off leaving him alone even though he framed a don, who is still serving time in prison. Elizabeth Waring from the Justice Department tries to trap him, and enlists the help of a retired police officer, who is the most interesting character in the novel. Stop! If you haven't read Perry's Butcher's Boy, read it first. Then grab this one. Ten years after the first book ends, the Butcher's Boy, the world's most successful and feared hit man, has been in hiding in England. He's been careful but a woman arrives about the same time his guard relaxes just a bit and he's recognized. Elizabeth Waring of the Justice Department, who's career was made with the first chase of the Butcher's Boy, is back as well. As usual, Perry's attention to detail and careful character crafting makes this book the excellent read that it is. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

He came to England to rest. He calls himself Michael Shaeffer, says he's a retired American businessman. He goes to the races, dates a kinky aristocrat, and sleeps with dozens of weapons. Ten years ago it was different. Then, he was the Butcher's Boy, the highly skilled mob hit man who pulled a slaughter job on some double-crossing clients and started a mob war. Ever since, there's been a price on his head. Now, after a decade, they've found him. The Butcher's Boy escapes back to the States with more reasons to kill. Until the odds turn terrifyingly against him...until the Mafia, the cops, the FBI, and the damn Justice Department want his hide...until he's locked into a cross-country odyssey of fear and death that could tear his world to pieces.
