Hit Man

Keller is an assassin - he is paid by the job and works for mysterious man who nominates hits and passes on commissions from elsewhere. Keller goes in, does the job, gets out: usually at a few hours notice . . . Often Keller's work takes him out of New York - to other cities, to pretty provincial towns that almost tempt him into moving to the woods and the lakeshores. Almost but not quite.

But then one job goes wrong in a way Keller has never imagined and it leaves him with a big problem. With an orphan on his hands and his conscience, Keller is looking at a whole lot of changes he's not sure he wants . . . He may even end up sharing his bed.
