Publisher's Synopsis
Jackson Hurst lives his nightmares with his eyes open. Only the heroin he's been addicted to since Vietnam keeps the horror at bay. A poster child for losers, Jackson's addiction has cost him his job, his girlfriend-and unless there's a change soon-his life. That change comes in the form of the wicked Aunt Camille, a Vermont millionaire who desperately needs Jackson's services to retrieve her twenty-year-old daughter, Cheryl, from kidnappers. Camille wants her back at any cost and she wants the kidnappers, who maimed her only daughter, murdered. Jackson could use the money-no, he desperately needs the money-but can he stay clean long enough to get her back? And more importantly, can he kill again despite the demons that haunt him from the war?
