Sting/Sandra Brown/408 pgs.

Shaw Kinnard has been hired to kill Jordie Bennet. Jordie's brother, Josh, was to turn testimony against his gangster boss, Billy Panella. Josh escapes from FBI protection, so Panella wants to kill Jordie in order to send Josh a message. Also, there is the 3 million dollars that Panella is missing--and believes Josh is going after. There are red herrings, romance, etc., which is pretty typical of Sandra Brown's books. However, I found this one of her better suspense mysteries. Highly recommended!
