Jesus, a hit man for the Machine, found himself on the roof, remembering what started it all – 911, the World Trade Center attack. Because he felt the need to make them pay, he had joined the military to earn his citizenship, kill Osama bin Laden, collect the 10 million dollar reward and live happily ever after with Lily. Until he was given a dishonorable discharge for clocking the sergeant.
Now he’s waiting to take out Panama Bob for ripping off his own brother. Panama Bob showed him a key to a storage locker and said it held enough money to take care of Jesus forever. He would give it to him, if he would just let him go. When Panama Bob made a move towards him, they struggled and Jesus threw him off the roof. He went back to Panama Bob’s office and began searching for the name of the storage business.
Jimmy, Panama Bob’s brother, was the one to put out the hit. He was a hothead and had told Jesus to hit him at his office, that he would be alone, but he wasn’t. What if Jimmy was setting him up to be the fall guy? Jimmy’s father, Vince, could take an exception to the hit. The trick for Jesus, would be keeping the key to the storage locker for himself.
He created a ruse for Denny, his friend and partner in the hit. He had told him Barbara, Jimmy’s wife, was cheating on him, not knowing it was actually Denny that was having the affair with her. He told Denny that the storage locker held the proof of the affair, now Denny needed that proof. It had backfired on Jesus and Denny ended up beating the crap out of him.
When Lily, his lovely Lily, sees him, he concocts another lie telling her the Irish mob, who were really cops, were after him. Now he’s being questioned by her, because Jimmy had went to Pete, her father who is a bookie working for Jimmy, and asked her what was going on. He couldn’t tell her the truth. Without her, there’s not much point to the money.
Jesus knew he loved Lily more than she loved him. He would follow her anywhere and he just so happens to follow her into a world of hurt.

3 Stars – Would Recommend to Others
Right off the bat, I loved the cover. Simple and hot. The title fits the story. For a murder book, the way it was written had me smiling through it, the scene on the roof had me laughing. It was a light and enjoyable mob mystery. I thought the writing flowed well and the characters were ?, I’m not sure if I liked any of them. To me that means “Chazz” did his job well. I look forward to reading more about Jesus.
