WHAT IF THE C.I.A. HAD ACCESS TO ALL THE NATION'S WITNESS PROTECTION LISTS?An ultra-secret unit of the Central Intelligence Agency forms an unholy alliance with vengeful mob bosses. In return for loads of cash, the unit's agents - the best assassins in the agency - bump off mob turncoats.The C.I.A. unit, feared even by other agency operatives, insists on two caveats. The doomed turncoats must be deserving of the death penalty. And the mob bosses must provide anti-terrorist information when and where they can.A win-win situation, right. The C.I.A. gets information, and a slush fund it can hide from Congress. And some real slimebuckets get taken off the board. What could go wrong?Well, plenty, when the agency's apex assassin kills the wrong man.Throw in a $300 billion Ponzi scheme and a Category 5 storm and what do you get? A bloody climax that combines the best of KEY LARGO and DIE HARD.If you like government intrigue, colorful characters and crackerjack dialogue, SUDDEN KILL is right up your alley. And it's just a click away!*** "Pulitzer-nominee Lawrence De Maria has another winner in Cole Sudden, an assassin working in an obscure C.I.A. unit even the agency worries about!"

(WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF BOOKS)"While De Maria may have been an award-winning financial reporter, he's an awfully good fiction writer as well." (NAPLES DAILY NEWS)
