Keller's a hit man. For years now he's had places to go and people to kill.
But enough is enough. He's got money in the bank and just one last job standing between him and retirement. So he carries it out with his usual professionalism, and he heads home, and guess what?
One more job. Paid in advance, so what's he going to do? Give the money back?In Des Moines, Keller stalks his designated target and waits for the client to give him the go-ahead. And one fine morning he's picking out stamps for his collection (Sweden 1-5, the official reprints) at a shop in Urbandale when somebody guns down the charismatic governor of Ohio.
Back at his motel, Keller's watching TV when they show the killer's face. And there's something all too familiar about that face. . . .
Keller calls his associate Dot in White Plains, but there is no answer. He's stranded halfway across the country, every cop in America's just seen his picture, his ID and credit cards are no longer good, and he just spent almost all of his cash on the stamps.
Now what?

Review
"Hard hitting, sharply written and gripping stuff." (Stuart Kelly SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY)
"Fans both old and new will be delighted - and yes, even charmed - by the unexpected twists and turns, both domestic and homicidal, that Keller's quixotic quest takes." (MYSTERY SCENE)
"Block's elegant writing is funny, philosophical and full of surprises. As a bonus, in this fourth Keller book, we get to know a lot more about Block's most unknowable protagonist." (MORNING STAR Mat Coward)
