Birds of Prey Don't Sing: An L.A. Assassination Thriller

A prolific assassin lands an inconceivable job: kill a pedophiliac priest and frame the job as Divine Judgment.

Who to kill? Who to frame? These questions define Michael Harrier, a singular assassin whose clients choose two targets: one to assassinate and a second to frame for the murder. This two-for-one approach has kept him and his clients undetected and above suspicion until this, the toughest job of his career--kill a pedophiliac priest and pin the murder on God.

The improbable job fuses like a twisted miracle until Harrier's life and livelihood splinter. First, a tough, intriguing woman fleeing a violent past entangles him in her own survival. Then a grisly, unplanned murder shatters his moral high ground and threatens to expose him.

Harrier's schemes rouse the hunter in Jordan Becker, an LAPD homicide sergeant who secretly fears his own judgment day. As Becker sees it, taking down the assassin and quashing the divine judgment angle is his sole shot at redemption. Trouble is, clues are sparse and all Becker's investigation seems to reveal is that he's outmatched. But with his salvation on the line, he'll drop a level and break any rule to try to collar Harrier.
