Assassination in Los Angeles

Stephen Haggerty used to work for the British SAS. He was trained to go into the houses of Gulf Arabs in the Middle East and kill the guards and then the occupants. One day the British government threw Haggerty on the scrap heap and he was reduced to driving trucks for $7 an hour. Three years ago Stephen Haggerty was introduced to an American from Philadelphia and now he has a completely different kind of job for a very secretive organization based in Pennsylvania.

Haggerty is sent to Los Angeles to assassinate a Hollywood agent called Robyn Bernstein who has failed to get a part for an actress who bears a grudge. Robyn is close to getting the right part for Sharon Pettifer but unfortunately for her the young actress has hooked up with a very powerful Armenian who was willing to put a contract out on the agent. Haggerty is already in Los Angeles, the hit is a go but right now Robyn Bernstein is setting up a meeting that will propel Sharon Pettifer right into the group of A list actresses.

Depending on what day Haggerty does the hit, Sharon Pettifer will either get a call or she will not get a call. That is still in her future. Something is in Haggerty's future too. He has a fake identity as a mining engineer but someone known to Haggerty has been probing that identity hard and the group in Philadelphia do not like that at all. After the assassination is over Haggerty has a meeting at the Talbot Group's corporate offices but that meeting will take place in a conference room at the back of the building and many people who end up in that conference room do not make it out of there.
