ANGRY MOON

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Forge/Tom Doherty Associates, Inc., 1997. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by author and dated 4/25/98 on title page. Ry Caulder is a hit man. A hardened killer. Caulder's skill at murder for hire is supreme, his professional code of ethics precise, his reputation legendary. Known as "the consummate professional," he is considered _the_ hit man for tough jobs. But Caulder is burned out and wants to quit the business. He can no longer rationalize what he does for a living. He wants to retire, but the ties that bind are tight. Caulder is hired to do one last job--to hunt down and kill Fredrickson, his mentor, the man who brought him into the business twenty years earlier. Someone has been launching attacks on the mob's drug-processing plants and smuggling operations, and Fredrickson is the suspected ringleader. A deadly game of cat-and-mouse plays out between these two before Caulder finally dispatches Fredrickson by blowing his limo sky-high with plastic explosives. But, the next day--Fredrickson is still alive. Somehow he survived the blast. Frustrated, confused, Caulder stalks and shoots Fredrikson with a high-powered rifle--this time hitting him with a .308 slug right between the eyes from six hundred yards out. But, the next day--Fredrickson is still alive. Caught in the crossfire among the police, the mob, the Colombians, and this vengeful hit man, Caulder must now do battle with both his conscience and his superhuman foe. In the course of deadly events, he will discover the truth behind the mystery of Fredrickson's powers--and unlock the door to his own future.
