To Kill a Devil
A Mason Collins Crime Thriller
“…may the God of vengeance now yield me His place to punish the wicked.” —Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
They came for the people he loves. Now Mason Collins is going after the man who sent them.
In 1946, having failed to kill Mason, a shadowy organization turns on his colleagues, his friends and the woman he loves. The only way to stop the killing is to cut off the head of the snake.
Armed with nothing but an alias, Valerius, Mason crosses Franco's Spain to war-torn Vienna. Everyone speaks the name with fear; no one knows if the man behind it is real. To hunt one devil, Mason strikes a bargain with another and leaves his own moral code behind.
And Valerius has something special waiting for him.
For readers who like a hero who is part Harry Bosch, part Jack Reacher.
