Deathrod

It was their first night together. Too bad it turned out to be their last. Kelly Moran is dead, her skull bashed in and her eyes taped open. Hart St. James discovers this when he wakes up with a throbbing head in bed next to her after their first â€" and last â€" romantic encounter. Thing is, this is not just a murder; it’s an assassination. But why the gorgeous Hollywood star? The assassin’s biggest mistake was leaving Hart alive. He’s not just a film studio sculptor, he’s a Vietnam Special Forces vet. And he’s definitely not happy about what has happened to the first woman in a very long time he thought he might have loved. Jumping into his own investigation, he is drawn deeper and deeper into a quagmire of political intrigue, high-level conspiracy, and outright dirty deeds. At every unexpected twist and turn, it takes every bit of his considerable training and skill to keep alive, let alone discover the truth â€" which is too fantastic to believe and too real to deny.
