Synopsis
Ace marksman Jay Benson lives a retired life from the army with his wife Lucy, trying to start a new life by starting a school for training on shooting. But unfortunately they are short of money for investment, when Augusto Savanto walks into their lives, promising Jay a huge sum of money in return for teaching his son, who is totally uninterested in shooting. He wants his son to be able to shoot like an expert shooter in just nine days. Benson agrees but soon realizes that he has entered a circle of revenge and murders involving mafias, in which he must participate, else it could affect both Lucy and him. The climax of the novel packs a considerable emotional punch.
