An unlikely customer to be buying such very heavy-duty weaponry: .460 Weatherbee rifle and .44 Magnum handgun. Not a man who seemed to know much about guns. Friendly, middle-aged, credit good and manner unassuming.

A man who knew he did not deserve what was being done to him: the serried ranks of City Hall, the corporate wheeler-dealers, the officials and politicos, threatening, without concern or understanding, to destroy everything he had achieved, lived for and loved.
A man who had decided to do something quite extraordinary. Something so publicly insane and violent that he would be noticed.
Because in the end it is always death and destruction that make the headlines. --back cover
