The Hitman's Lover — Richard Smith

When it's a family affair, something is bound to go terribly wrong... Jack Scully, partner in a Jersey City law firm, has a nice, quiet life until his crotchety Aunt Maude guns down a policeman. Her defense? She claims he was really a hitman hired by her alcoholic husband, Teddy, to “off” her. When Aunt Maude insists Scully handle her case, he's drawn deeper and deeper into a tangled web of organized crime and crooked cops. His dangerous attraction to beautiful Angela, the daughter of a local crime boss, and the bodies piling up around them complicate finding the truth. Desperate, he sets a trap, but he's the only one who gets caught in the snare of corruption and murder. Will Angela save him or let him follow her blindly into the final betrayal?
