A novel by

 
 
Temporarily relieved from homicide detail for making the wrong politicians mad, police detective C. R. Payne is forced to work undercover in the seediest hangouts in Atlanta. Pretty tame stuff-until one of the bar's clientele is found dead in a nearby motel. Payne takes the case when he uncovers the victim's powerful political connections, figuring that solving the murder is his ticket back to the job he loves. But there are a few things Payne didn't figure on. Like the FBI. And international arms dealers. And a merciless trained killer who will stop at nothing to finish the job he's started..
