      Eine gnadenlose Jagd durch Los Angeles entfaltet sich in einem atemberaubend rasanten Thriller. Ein pensioniertes Ermittlerpaar des Los Angeles Police Department und zwei Auftragskiller aus San Fernando Valley werden von gegnerischen Seiten auf denselben ungeklärten Mordfall angesetzt. Es kommt zu gewaltigen Auseinandersetzungen, während die Abels und die Hoyts versuchen, sich gegenseitig auszuschalten. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Mord an James Ballantine, einem Afroamerikaner, der als Forscher für ein renommiertes Unternehmen arbeitete, bis er brutal mit zwei Kugeln in den Hinterkopf getötet wurde. Die Auftragnehmer der Hoyts wollen verhindern, dass ihr Verbrechen ans Licht kommt, während die Abels genau das anstreben. Eine gnadenlose Jagd beginnt, geprägt von irrwitzigen Schusswechseln und Verfolgungsjagden durch die Stadt. Dieser Thriller ist wie ein Hollywood-Blockbuster, voller überraschender Wendungen und dunkler, unterhaltsamer Elemente, die für totalen Nervenkitzel sorgen. Thomas Perrys Figuren werden mit einem einzigen Satz lebendig und er gilt als einer der größten lebenden Spannungsautoren. Mit über zwanzig veröffentlichten Thrillern und Kriminalromanen hat er sich in den USA einen herausragenden Ruf erarbeitet und wurde mit dem Edgar-Allan-Poe-Award ausgezeichnet.
