    Hitman Keith Murphy is on the run after a botched job. He’s bodypacking a magic bullet, fleeing an apocalyptic cult of necromancers, and wishing like hell his partner Danny Roark hadn’t chosen to go AWOL. Flying solo, Keith’s left with a single plan that might keep him alive: return to the Gold Coast and do his best to lie low.Keith’s not been home for sixteen years, but nobody’s pleased to see him. His ex-boss Sabbath wants to torture Keith for leaving, his ex-girlfriend is running the club where local demons and fey trade in dark desires, and his best friend is threatening to break Keith’s kneecaps just for crossing the city limits.When a cult sorcerer tracks him down, Keith’s forced to cut a desperate deal that buys him a little time—he’ll trade his skills as a killer for six months of sanctuary. Problem is, Keith doesn’t work alone, and he’s always let Danny Roark handle the magic.That means going up against dangerous sorcerers and demons with nothing but guns, gumption, and any reluctant allies Keith can scrape together to back him up.
