A Hard Day's Night — Kathleen McClure

Since they first met, Zodiac agents Harry Finn and Ray Slater have escaped a deadly bar-fight (mostly by burning down the bar), and narrowly avoided being cut down by a hail of bullets in the middle of one of Ã"cala's hottest night spots.

But the two men get no time to relax, as Harry's troubled past catches up with him, a past that arrives in the shape of the syndicate hacker known as Gemini.

Now Harry must face Gemini's double-edged fury, while Ray gets better acquainted with two of the Known's Most-Wanted -- and for both men, the only hope of survival is a miracle.
