"This book, like a suspenseful movie, kept me on the edge of my seat, turning the pages as quickly as possible. When I first started the book, I thought it might make me too tense, but I quickly settled into the hero's calm assuredness.
Tim is hanging out (trying to be invisible) at his favorite local bar, when a man mistakes him for a hit man. He gives Tim money, a name, address and photo of the woman he wants killed and leaves. Tim is unsettled. The real hitman enters the bar, and thinks that Tim is the man hiring him. Tim tells him he's changed his mind, and says he can have the money anyway.
Knowing that something will happen causing the murder to take place anyway, Tim does what he must to stop it.
"I loved the beginning of this book! That's unusual for me. I typically like endings much more than beginnings. This one starts out with Tim sitting in the bar. Not only is Tim an intersting character that I couldn't wait to learn more about, but so are the people around him. The people that he calls friends. When the stranger sits next to him, the conversation is a bit odd, yet totally intriguing. Then, the next stranger, and again a conversation to remember. Then the roller-coaster ride hits high speed. Tim decides that he's going to save the woman who's been targeted by an unknown to be killed. But what Tim doesn't expect is how he will feel about that woman. As they run and hide from the killer, Tim realizes that he loves her. Although Linda doesn't really voice her feelings, it's pretty clear that they are attracted to each other. However, don't mistake this book for a romance. It certainly isn't. The killer is rutheless and his killings are brutal and detailed. The ending comes together and finally answers the questions that I had about other occurances in the book. A quick note about the audio....I listened to the unabridged version of this book. The reader was great. He used different intonations and infliction in his voice, however, I didn't care for the way that he portrayed Linda's voice. He made her sound airy, or ditsy, yet that really wasn't the image that I had of her. I think that had I read the book, her voice in my head would have been much different. Overall, it doesn't affect the outcome of the book, I just kept thinking in my head that Linda shouldn't sound like that!"
"Being mistaken for a hit man at a bar and receiving $10,000 in a manila envelope seems good but when the actual killer shows up for the money do u give the money and let what happens happen? Tim Carrier chooses to give the money as a gift for not doing anything but the killer decides to carry on with the assassination anyway. So Tim decides to be the Good Guy and warn the pretty Linda Paquette. He convinces her to leave and they get away together for a while until the actual hit man follows them and the only reason why he always knows where they are is because he works with a secret organization. Tim and Linda have no idea what will happen to them or if they will make it out of it alive. This book shows how love and a conscience can make someone do crazy things.Tim was one who believed he couldn't fall in love at first sight but it happened. I recommend this book to people who really enjoy mystery and death.This book is really interesting."
