Ex-cop Charlie Hardie's latest job is guarding an isolated mansion in LA's Hollywood Hills. But it comes with an unwanted guest - a D-list actress who says she's being hunted by professional hitmen.

But he's wrong.
The killers are real.
They've tracked her to the house.
And they're not letting anyone out alive.
REVIEW:
The second book release from the newly formed Mulholland Books and one that demonstrates that they’re not prepared to take prisoners. This title is high octane from start to finish, it’s outspoken, it has solid lead characters and when backed with solid spartanesque prose it’s a title that is all about the journey of survival without any fancy twiddly bits.
Add to this that it makes no bones about being a crime survival story from start to finish and whilst the lead male character takes knock after knock it’s a title that would translate well to the big screen. Finally, if you want a story that is gripping, has similarities to a Jack Reacher or Joe Hunter, but pulls no punches with a hero who believes that any which way you can survive is acceptable, then this title is definitely one for you. Great stuff.
