BECAUSE HOMICIDE
BEGINS AT HOME

He'd killed plenty overseas, so killing her lover was no big deal. And when he was recruited to use his skills as a contract killer, that transition was easy, too. He survived in this jungle as he had in that other one -- by expecting trouble.
What he didn't expect was ever running into his ex again....
